# Developer Roast Generator (Targeted)

> Developer Roast Generator (Targeted) is a paid API for AI agents from flat-rate-llm.kikoribera03.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.0025/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Generates a lighthearted, targeted developer roast aimed at a specific tech stack or practice (JavaScript, Python, CSS, Git, regex, Kubernetes, agile, or legacy code) at a chosen severity level, with bilingual and repeat-free support.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability developer-roast-generator-targeted-432b5b1e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me a savage roast targeting JavaScript — one my team hasn't heard before — in English, and use seed 'abc123' so we get the same one every sprint retro.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a targeted, tech-specific developer roast rather than a generic joke — especially when you want repeatability via seeding, deduplication via exclude lists, or bilingual output. Ideal for code-review bots, CI/CD pipelines, dev team Slack bots, or standup humor automation where the roast must reference the actual stack being used.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid target value returns an error or falls back to a random target
- Invalid severity value may be ignored or cause a bad request
- Providing all known IDs in 'exclude' may exhaust the pool and return an error or repeated entry
- Unsupported language code defaults silently to English
- Missing or malformed seed is ignored and roast is randomly selected

## How this service works

60 paid endpoints with no metering, no API key and no account. Each endpoint has one flat price per call, whatever the size of the request: LLM completions with automatic failover across several large models, read-only EVM tooling over Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism, and pure crypto utilities that touch no network.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the roast text, a unique roast ID, the target tech (e.g. 'javascript'), the severity level, the language, and a total count of available roasts for that target. The roast text is a single humorous, developer-focused quip aimed at the chosen technology or practice.
