🎭 Fake Random User Generator — Apify Actor

Generates realistic fake user profiles using the RandomUser.me API. Perfect for populating test databases, prototyping UIs, load testing, and demo data. No API key required.

Features

• Bulk generation — up to 5,000 users per run.
• 21 nationalities — AU, BR, CA, CH, DE, DK, ES, FI, FR, GB, IE, IN, IR, MX, NL, NO, NZ, RS, TR, UA, US.
• Gender filter — male only, female only, or mixed.
• Age range — filter by minimum/maximum age (smart over-fetching to hit the target count).
• Password rules — control character sets (upper, lower, number, special) and length range.
• Field selection — include or exclude specific data categories.
• Reproducible seeds — same seed = identical users every run.
• 3 output formats — flat (spreadsheet-ready), nested (JSON-native), minimal (essentials only).
• Sequential IDs — optional auto-incrementing ID on each record.
