Introducing FooApi
I am excited to announce a personal project I’ve been working on: fooapi.com. The service isn’t 100% complete yet—som...

This is a great service. There are so many types of data to imagine - the first one I thought of is random text/quotes/thought-of-the-day/anything like that, that can be pulled from AI. Depends how many AI requests the host would have access to. Each of them uses electricity and compute, though.
Hey! Just wanted to share some friendly feedback - I ran a stress test on your API with 100 parallel threads over 3 mins (~50k requests) and noticed it handled everything like a champ! 🚀 While that's impressive, you might want to consider adding some rate limiting to protect against potential abuse. The API is super cool btw, loving how robust it is!
Keep up the great work! ✨
@kherrera02 thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I did some load tests but not as extensive as yours, I will consider your advice!
Great project 👍 As @elpidaguy mentioned, if you have the source code available (that is if you plan to keep it open and free), would be interesting to take a look and maybe have the possibility to roll it out locally and test, for instance.
Sounds good! I built FooApi with the idea of being a free tool for developers. I'm currently finishing some features, and after that, I'll be able to share the code with the community. If you have new ideas or contributions let me know.
Thank you
Awesome!! Keep going 💪
This is a great idea. I can imagine using this in a number of prototypes. I look forward to it being open source!
very helpful when we work on sample projects or POC.
good idea, better if you put OAuth for some of them just to let ppl try it out.
Thank you! For now, the endpoints don't require authentication, but adding that possibility is interesting.
Worth reading.
This looks cool 😎
Great work, thanks for sharing!
This is a great service
Helpful 👍
Awesome!!!! Worth reading.
Nice project, keep it going! :)
Good Idea. Is the project open for contribution on GitHub?
Thank you! Not yet, I'm still working on some features before opening it for contributions. I'll announce updates next month
That's great! Thanks for this API!
Will also add it to the next issue of weeklyfoo.com.
Wow! thank you so much, let me know any update
