- gregbarbosa 12y agoWould be cool to have an API. Could be useful for mass address book creation.
- mtrn 12y agoWho would need mass address books?
- userbinator 12y agoPeople writing address book software.
- kevinkimball 12y agoFaker (for ruby here https://github.com/stympy/faker https://github.com/stympy/faker) originally for perl, available elsewhere also
- ultramancool 12y agoNice, anything like this available in Python or C# land? Or even a simple desktop app rather than a webapp?
- littleweep 12y agoI was reminded of this as well.
- werdnapk 12y agoVery useful for generating fake data when writing test cases.
- ultramancool 12y agoI don't like the idea of doing this on a website. Why not just do it offline? Why fetch the data from a server where it could be captured and logged?
- jarman 12y agoWhat data can they capture and log, beyond data captured and logged at any website?
- lucb1e 12y agoExcept it doesn't do addresses, especially postal codes, which is what I'd use it for. Making up names is not the problem, finding a matching postal code with street name and a house number (this database is published and many sites check it) is the issue.
- jloughry 12y agoThere are lots of syntactically valid addresses at the bottom of Lake Washington in Seattle: useful if you want to avoid spamming random people with postal mail in case that contact information later gets sold on.
- piyush_soni 12y agoYou don't see addresses on this website? Look just below the randomly generated name.
- lucb1e 12y agoNot in Dutch
- ef4 12y agoIt does addresses, broken down by StreetAddress, City, State, PostalCode, and Country. But it sounds like what you want isn't fake identities, you want real ones.
- avree 12y agoThe idea is to bypass syntax checking while trying to be anonymous, not perpetrate identity fraud.
- ef4 12y agoI use their data to demo my medical software. I obviously can't show real patient names, so I import a whole bunch of realistic looking people from here instead.
- UrMomReadsHN 12y agoI've used it in my software as well. Except that the names actually end up looking fake to me. Not sure if its cause I know they are fake or what. Doesn't matter to me either way.
- scabfos 12y agoAwesome tool! It even comes with a temporal fake mail generator, really useful.
- nitin_flanker 12y agoGreat, the profile has a QR code also .Fantastic
