Excuser

API

Free API for random excuses across various situations

Overview

The Excuser API provides free access to random, category-specific excuses (work, family, school, etc.). Key endpoints include GET /excuse (single random excuse), GET /excuse/{category} (category-specific random excuse), and GET /excuse/{category}/{count} (multiple excuses). Responses are JSON-formatted with fields: 'excuse' (text), 'category' (context), and 'id' (unique identifier). Ideal for entertainment apps, chatbots, party games, or prank tools to generate lighthearted excuses instantly without authentication.
