ItsThisForThat vs RoboHash
ItsThisForThat is a single-endpoint novelty generator that mashes two random tech buzzwords into a startup-style "X for Y" pitch (e.g. "Google Analytics for Pandas"), served from a PHP script that's been running unchanged since at least 2018. The same api.php endpoint supports three output modes via query string — ?json for JSON, ?call=name for a JSONP callback, and ?text for a plain sentence — with no key, signup, or documented rate limit. There's no CORS header on any response, so browser code needs a same-origin proxy even though the endpoint itself is fully public.
RoboHash turns any string — an email address, IP, username, or filename — into a deterministic robot, monster, human, or cat avatar, so the same input always renders the same image. Six selectable sets (robots, monsters, robot heads, cats, human avatars, gorillas) each support size, background (bgset), and Gravatar-based seeding, and images are served directly from the URL by file extension in PNG, JPG, GIF, or BMP. No signup, key, or request body is required, and outputs are freely embeddable under a CC-BY license.
