Michal Altair Valasek has helped us add Czech names to the Fake Name Generator. We will also be adding Czech addresses in the near future.

Michal has also helped us fix a few bugs in the bulk order process. Microsoft SQL Server orders should now load properly when imported into a database, and we’ve corrected some invalid field lengths in all the SQL output formats.

If you happen to speak Czech, check out Michal’s ASP.NET page.

Bill Turner has put together a neat Ruby gem that allows you to easily use the Fake Name Generator API in your Ruby application. The code is free to use and available on GitHub.

Getting a Fake Name Generator API key is fast and free. You can perform 50 API calls per month at no cost, and it is only $0.001 (1/10 of a cent) per API call after that.

Want to perform even more API calls for free? Here are a few ways to earn free API credits:

1. Help make Bill’s Ruby gem even better.
2. Create an API wrapper in another language, such as PHP or Java.
3. Use the Fake Name Generator to teach in a classroom setting (this includes homeschool classrooms of one or more students).

Please contact us if any of the above apply to you, or for more information.
