Key endpoints include /paragraphs/{count} (specified number of paragraphs), /sentences/{count} (custom sentence count), and /words/{count} (target word count). Responses are plain text, ideal for UI mockups, content rendering validation, or placeholder text in apps.

It supports URL-based parameters to adjust output, making it flexible for diverse testing needs.
