# Random names
[](https://travis-ci.org/karthik/randNames) [](https://coveralls.io/r/karthik/randNames) [](https://cran.r-project.org/package=randNames) [](http://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/randNames/index.html)
The package provides a programmatic interface to the Random Names API and returns 'sample' user data including fake first/last names, emails, SSNs, addresses, avatars and more. Search queries can be further filtered by gender and nationality.
```{r, echo = FALSE, message = FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(
comment = "#>",
cache = FALSE,
error = FALSE,
message = FALSE,
tidy = FALSE
)
```
**Installation**
```{r, eval = FALSE}
install.packages("randNames")
````
or for the development version
```{r, eval = FALSE}
devtools::install_github("karthik/randNames")
```
It queries a random name API and returns a whole bunch of useful fields.
```{r, names, cache = TRUE}
library(dplyr)
library(randNames)
20 %>%
rand_names %>%
select(first = name.first, last = name.last)
```
__Filter by nationality__
```{r, nationality, cache = TRUE}
15 %>%
# Available nationalities: AU, BR, CA, CH, DE, DK, ES, FI, FR, GB, IE, IR, NL, NZ, TR, US
# You can specify multiple nationalities. e.g. "gb,us"
rand_names(nationality = "GB") %>%
select(name.first, name.last)
```
__Filter by gender__
```{r, gender}
library(randNames)
15 %>%
rand_names(gender = "female") %>%
select(name.first, name.last)
```
__Set seed__
```{r, seed}
15 %>%
rand_names(seed = 'foobar') %>%
select(name.first, name.last)
```
__Additional fields beyond first and last name__
