Functionality

API - Random User

Link to documentation: https://randomuser.me/documentation When the user creates their profile, it will make an API call to get a random set of user information.

https://randomuser.me/api/?format=JSON&exc=registered,cell&nat=us&noinfo&results=1

• format is set to JSON data format.
• exc will exclude registered and cell fields
• nat is set to United States so all users are 'us citizens'
• noinfo included so only the data is returned and seed, results, page, and version data is not returned
• results is set to one so only one person is returned
