  summary: Community-Hosted Mirror of the Bored API for App Brewery Students
  description: >-
    The App Brewery Bored API is a community-hosted mirror of the original
    Bored API (https://www.boredapi.com/) that powers App Brewery's web
    development course exercises. The original boredapi.com has been
    unreliable since 2024 and this fork preserves the dataset and a similar
    API surface at https://bored-api.appbrewery.com, with a flatter path
    scheme (/random, /filter, /activity/{key}) and a refined activity shape
    that includes accessibility as text, plus duration and kidFriendly.
