Deny By Default as a Service

About Deny By Default as a Service

Deny By Default as a Service is an API that generates random rejection or acceptance messages. It provides endpoints for retrieving a "no" reason, a "yes" reason, or a randomly selected one of either type, along with a health check and a help endpoint documenting usage.

Responses are returned in plain text by default, with JSON output available by setting an Accept or Content-Type header to application/json, or by adding a format query parameter. Any route not explicitly defined returns a positive "yes" reason.

This service is suited for developers who want a lightweight source of randomized, novelty response text, such as for testing, prototyping, or adding a playful element to an application.
