No-as-a-Service (NaaS)

A simple API built in Go that provides various ways to say "No". Perfect for those times when you need to decline a request but want to do it with a specific flair—be it corporate, sarcastic, or over-dramatic.

API Usage

1. List All Categories

To see all available "No" categories, make a GET request to the root /no/ endpoint.

Request:

curl http://localhost:8080/no/

Response:

{
  "categories": [
    "random",
    "corporate_speak",
    "friendly_firm",
    "funny_light",
    "over_dramatic",
    "polite_professional",
    "passive_aggressive",
    "sarcastic",
    "tech_nerd"
  ]
}

2. Get a "No" Message

To get a random message from a specific category, append the category name to the /no/ endpoint.

Request (Corporate Speak):

curl http://localhost:8080/no/corporate_speak

Response:

{
  "message": "We appreciate the proposal, however, it doesn't align with our current bandwidth and strategic north star."
}

Request (Sarcastic):

curl http://localhost:8080/no/sarcastic

Request (Random): If you want the API to pick a category for you:
