Eight Ball
Fortune-telling API with random, sentiment-biased, and multi-language responses.
About Eight Ball
8Ball API is a RESTful API that generates Magic 8-Ball style fortune-telling responses, returning results in JSON or plain text. It offers endpoints for random responses, sentiment-biased responses based on the wording of a submitted question, and category-grouped responses (positive, negative, neutral). The biased-response endpoint analyzes the sentiment of an input question and returns a contextually appropriate reading along with sentiment scoring details. The API requires no API key, supports multiple languages and locale parameters, and is free to use.
It is intended for developers building Discord and chat bots, games, and other interactive or creative applications, such as fortune-teller NPCs, decision-making mechanics, or writing-prompt tools. Documentation and an interactive playground are available for testing requests before integration.
