Lorem Ipsum Generator API
Generate random lorem ipsum placeholder text as paragraphs, sentences or words, returned as one string and as an array.
Call GET /v1/lorem-ipsum to get random Latin placeholder text. Choose the unit with type (paragraphs, sentences or words) and the amount with count (1-100). The default count is 3 paragraphs, 5 sentences or 50 words.
Sentences have 6 to 15 random words and paragraphs 4 to 7 sentences. By default the text starts with the classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,", which is added in front of the generated words; set start_with_lorem=false to skip it.
The response contains text (paragraphs joined by blank lines, sentences and words by spaces) and items, the same content as an array, which is handy for filling lists or multiple fields.

100 paragraphs, sentences or words per request.
