Bored

Overview

The Bored API returned random activity suggestions (“Go to a karaoke bar”, “Learn a new language”) as JSON — a fun, keyless API that was popular for demos and “what should I do” widgets.

⚠️ Status (verified 2026-08): the listing’s endpoint bored-api.appbrewery.com/api/activity currently returns HTTP 404 (“Cannot GET /activity”), and the original www.boredapi.com host is unreachable. The service appears to be down or restructured — verify before relying on it.

What it used to provide

• Random activity: GET /api/activity → {"activity": "...", "type": "education", "participants": 1, "price": 0, "link": "", "key": "1234"}
• By type: ?type=recreational
• By participants: ?participants=4
• By price range: ?minprice=0&maxprice=0.1

Alternatives

If you need the same idea (random activities as JSON), check other listings on this site in the Development / Entertainment categories — or the GitHub history of the original Bored API project, which documents the response schema for a self-hosted clone.

FAQ

Is the Bored API working? As of 2026-08, the listed endpoint returns 404 — treat it as unreachable until you verify from your own network.

Was it free? Yes — it was keyless and free.
