It's been a while, but the Random User Generator API 1.2 update is ready! Randomuser.me will be down around 10 pm Central Time and should be back up within the hour if everything goes according to plan.

The v1.2 API update was successful and randomuser.me is back online! Check out the latest changes here: randomuser.me/changelog#1.2

Random User Generator was updated to API v1.3 over the weekend! Check out the latest changes here: randomuser.me/changelog#1.3

randomuser.me has been under a DDoS attack for the last couple of days. We will be upgrading our infrastructure in the coming weeks to better handle attacks and accommodate the increased load we've been seeing from legitimate users.

Randomuser.me is up again. Thanks for your patience!

Sorry for the downtime, a sudden influx in traffic killed the server. It looks like we might have to upgrade soon...

PSA: The old RandomAPI beta will be shutting down in November. Make sure you copy your data over to beta.randomapi.com before then!

We are investigating some server issues with randomuser.me

Server issues are resolved for now - it looks like a bad config setting from a recent update was to blame.
