What is the Forgotten API?

Deep within the archives of a long‑abandoned server lives an API that no one remembers building. Its endpoints are whispered about in old commit messages and half‑written README files. Use this fictional documentation to explore its oddities.

Warning: Calls to this API may return 404, 418, or a cryptic poem.

Getting Started

Base URL: https://forgotten.example.com/api/v1

All requests accept application/json. No authentication required—this API is forgotten, not secured.

Endpoints

GET /echo/:phrase

Returns the phrase you send, wrapped in a nostalgic JSON envelope.

{
  "timestamp": "2026-04-25T12:34:56Z",
  "echo": "your phrase here",
  "memory": "faded"
}

POST /reincarnate

Send a fragment of code; the API will attempt to resurrect it in an ancient language.

{
  "input": "function greet(){console.log('hi');}",
  "output": "greet(){print 'hi'} // rumored COBOL‑ish syntax"
}

DELETE /memory/:id

Erase a memory. The API pretends it succeeded, then forgets it itself.

{
  "id": "42",
  "status": "deleted (maybe)",
  "note": "the void is quiet now"
}

Playful Tools

Try the interactive Random Endpoint Generator. Each click conjures a new, never‑seen‑before endpoint.
