A simple API for generating secure passphrases, inspired by http://xkcd.com/936/ and http://passphra.se/

This API is built in Node.js, based on the following tutorial: http://coenraets.org/blog/2012/10/creating-a-rest-api-using-node-js-express-and-mongodb/

This API supports a GET request only:

<pre><code> curl -i -X GET http://localhost:3000/passphrase </code></pre>

returns:

<pre><code> { "passphrase": "alike indicate examine angle" } </code></pre>

You can optionally pass in an argument to generate n passphrases:

<pre><code> curl -i -X GET http://localhost:5000/passphrase/3 </code></pre>

returns:

<pre><code> { "n": 3, "passphrases": [ "chance dead struggle consist", "mysterious mouth represent herd", "diameter operation telephone planned" ] } </code></pre>
