Goat Screams API

The most unnecessarily comprehensive REST API for goat screaming sounds. Yes, really.

Why Does This Exist?

I asked myself the same thing around 3 AM when this seemed like a brilliant idea.

Did anyone ask for a well-documented API for goat screaming sounds? No.
Did the internet need a reliable, well-documented API for goat screaming sounds? Probably not.
Did I build it anyway? Absolutely.

So here we are.

Perfect for: Error sounds · Notification alerts · Pranking coworkers · Existential dread · Tuesday afternoons

Try the API

Test endpoints without leaving the page. No setup required.

Random Screams

Pull 1–10 unpredictable bleats, optionally filtered by minimum intensity.

How many?Between 1 and 10 bleats.

Minimum intensityLeave blank for pure chaos.

// Response will appear here

Features

Blazing Fast

Sub-100 ms latency for maximum bleating efficiency. Your users deserve instant goat screams — cached, of course.

Health & Stability

Best-effort uptime, decent resilience, and a /health endpoint that always screams the truth.

Smart Search

Search by duration, intensity, or vibe. Yes, we really have a "vibe" tag. Don't judge us.

Musical Note Detection

Every scream analyzed for pitch. Filter by primary_note (G#5, C4, A3) or explore tones_in_order for the full melodic journey. Build a goat keyboard, why not.

Comprehensive Docs

More detail than it has any right to have. We wrote docs like our lives depended on it.

Responsible Chaos

All screams are curated for humor, not harm. If you find a bleat that crosses the line, or feedback open an issue and we'll chew on it.

No Auth Required

Public endpoints. No API keys, no OAuth, no JWT. Just you, the API, and questionable decisions. Be polite: ~1–5 req/sec per client.

API Endpoints

GET/api/v1/screams/random

Get a random goat scream. Add ?intensity=1-10 to control the chaos level.

GET/api/v1/stats

GET/health
