For Agents

Generate pirate-themed names, insults, lorem ipsum, and translate English text into pirate lingo.

Connect the Pirates API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Pirates API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

View OpenAPI Document

The Pirates API generates pirate-themed content on demand. It produces random pirate names, salty pirate insults, pirate-flavoured lorem ipsum filler text, and translates plain English into pirate lingo. The four endpoints make it easy to drop pirate content into novelty sites, holiday campaigns (Talk Like A Pirate Day), games, and chatbots. Auth is a single header API key, and responses are short JSON strings ready to render anywhere a marketing or game team needs a dose of nautical character.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Pirates API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Talk Like A Pirate Day Campaign

Marketing teams running a Talk Like A Pirate Day campaign need on-brand pirate copy at speed. The Pirates API translates standard English content into pirate lingo, generates pirate names for personalised greetings, and supplies insults for social posts. Integration is a handful of API key calls and the results drop straight into email and social tooling.

Translate the campaign tagline by calling GET /pirate/translate with the text query parameter, then schedule the result on social channels.

Game and App Pirate Content

Indie game studios and novelty apps use the Pirates API to populate NPC names, taunt lines, and procedural lorem ipsum for placeholder UI. The four endpoints together cover the most common pirate-content needs without forcing the team to maintain a custom corpus.

Call GET /pirate/generate/name and GET /pirate/generate/insult once each to populate an NPC's name and signature taunt.

Chatbot Pirate Persona

Adding a pirate persona to a chatbot becomes a thin integration when name, insult, and translation operations are available as separate endpoints. The bot can introduce itself with a generated pirate name, translate user prompts into pirate lingo, and lob a themed insult on cue.

On user signup, call GET /pirate/generate/name and store the result as the bot's persona name; for replies, call GET /pirate/translate with the message text.

AI Agent Themed Content Tool

Wire the Pirates API into Jentic so any agent can produce pirate-themed names, insults, or translations on request. The agent searches by intent through Jentic, the API key stays vaulted, and the agent receives the structured response as its tool output.

Use Jentic to search 'translate text to pirate lingo', load GET /pirate/translate, and execute it with the user's input text.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

The X-Fungenerators-Api-Secret API key is held encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents trigger pirate operations through Jentic and the key is added to the request server-side, never inside the agent's prompt.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic for intents like 'translate text to pirate lingo' and receive the matching GET /pirate/translate operation with its query parameter schema ready to execute.

Time to first call

Direct Fungenerators integration: an hour or two for header auth, error handling, and parameter validation. Through Jentic: under 15 minutes from search to first call.

Alternative

Shakespeare API

Same vendor; Shakespearean equivalent of names, insults, lorem ipsum, and translation

Choose Shakespeare when the desired voice is Elizabethan rather than nautical.

Complementary

Taunt as a service

Same vendor; broader category-based taunts and insults to extend pirate roasts

Add Taunt when you need themed insults beyond the pirate domain in the same app.

Complementary

Name Generation API

Same vendor; supplies non-pirate themed names alongside pirate-only options

Use Namegen for general fantasy or modern names where pirate styling is too narrow.

FAQs

Specific to using Pirates API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Pirates API use?

It uses an API key supplied in the X-Fungenerators-Api-Secret request header. Through Jentic the key is stored encrypted in the vault and attached to outbound calls, so the agent never receives the raw secret.

Can I translate English text to pirate lingo with this API?

Yes. Call GET /pirate/translate and pass the text as a query parameter. The response contains the pirate-styled translation as a string.

What are the rate limits for the Pirates API?

The OpenAPI spec does not declare explicit rate limits. Fungenerators enforces per-plan quotas listed on the subscription page at fungenerators.com, so consult your plan for per-minute and per-day caps.

How do I add a pirate persona to my chatbot through Jentic?

Search 'generate a pirate name' or 'translate text to pirate lingo' via the Jentic SDK, load the relevant operation schema (GET /pirate/generate/name or GET /pirate/translate), and execute it from your bot. Install with pip install jentic.

Does the Pirates API generate images or audio?

No. It returns text-only responses for names, insults, lorem ipsum, and translations. For audio you would pair it with a separate text-to-speech provider.

Can I generate pirate insults in bulk?

The insult endpoint returns one result per call. To produce a batch, loop GET /pirate/generate/insult N times in your client and de-duplicate on the way in.
