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/activitycurrently returns HTTP 404 (“Cannot GET /activity”), and the originalwww.boredapi.comhost 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.
