RandomUser
Generates and list user data.
About RandomUser
RandomUser is a free, open-source API that generates randomly generated user data, described as functioning like Lorem Ipsum but for people. A request returns a JSON, XML, CSV, or YAML object containing fields such as name, gender, location, email, login credentials, date of birth, registration date, phone numbers, an ID value, nationality, and a profile picture.
It is aimed at developers who need placeholder or test data representing individual users, such as for populating application interfaces or testing during development. Results can be fetched via AJAX, and the output format is selectable through a format parameter in the request.
The service also offers a related product, RandomAPI, for building customized data generators. Profile photos used in the generated results are sourced from UI Faces.
