Introduction

FOAAS (Fuck Off As A Service) provides a modern, RESTful, scalable solution to the common problem of telling people to fuck off.

API

Content Negotiation

FOAAS will respond to the following 'Accept:' values with appropriate content

  • text/plain - Content will be returned as a plain string.
  • application/json - Content will be returned as a JSON object { message: 'message', subtitle: 'subtitle' }
    • Supports jsonp by including ?callback=?
  • text/html - Content will be returned as an HTML page with a twitter bootstrap hero unit, containing the message and the subtitle.
  • application/xml - Content will be returned as an XML document.

Operations

Path Description
/version Will return content with the current FOAAS version number.
/operations Will return a JSON list of operations with names and fields. Note: JSON Only

Filters

Filters are optional output modifiers, and are specified by adding the filter name as query to the HTTP request, e.g. https://foaas.io/off/doomcrewinc/Everyone.

Caveat: All filters internally call the stated external services, and as such the latency and availability of API calls using these features cannot be guaranteed.

Name Description
i18n Translation provided by mymemory.translated.net. Specifying ?i18n on its own will attempt to detect your browser language, or you can specify the language to translate to using the ISO 639-1 language code, i.e. ?i18n=es

Filters can be used in combinations, e.g. https://foaas.io/off/doomcrewinc/Everyone?&i18n=de

Roadmap

FOAAS will be extended to include the following functionality:

  • Random fuck offs (or Fuck Off of the Day), without having to specify the operation (off, you, everyone, donut etc) explicitly

All contributions are very welcome.
