Well then, I won’t be a paying customer then.

I should mention that unicode.org has a "Unicode Set" query tool so no one gets swindled by a similar service ;)

I was almost sure that they do it client-side for a joke, but if you check the browser console, you can see that they actually make a request! You can even make the same request with curl and it works!
Although, making an HTTP request manually is quite inconvenient, so I'm waiting for Python SDK.

Heads up OP: I’m trying to get a pro license but your checkout flow is borked. Probably should fix ASAP before missing out on HN front page traffic.

Vulnerable to a distillation attack, unfortunately not much of a moat.
OsrsNeedsf2P
I misread this as "is even" and was shocked that 46 returned false
8n4vidtmkvmk
I think that's part of the joke. iseven is a real, non-joke package.
ollybee
With 250k weekly downloads. That is no joke.
stkdump
With a dependency on is-odd (which in turn has a dependency on is-number)
Quot
7.0000000000000001 evaluates to true.
silisili
As does 6.9999999999999999.
geor9e
true: 0x7, 007, 0b111
kinda: seven
false: siete, 111, VII
dudeinjapan
It's an inclusive app.

> 77.7% uptime SLA
Giving GitHub a run for its money, I see.
evanb
Bug report: I tried 6.999999̅ and got false. So there's some nonstandard model of the reals being leveraged here.
nvader
Bug report: I entered 3 + 4 and did not get a kinda or true.
This app is ngmi
wincy
Well the all only has 77.7% uptime maybe it just returns wrong things while it’s down, that’s probably it. Try upgrading to Enterprise that’ll probably fix it.
kmoser
I would have expected something other than false for "se7en".
golem14
Similar report here:
70/10, 7.1-0.1 and srqt(49) also do not return true.
Is there a published SLA for the free version?
addandsubtract
I think everyone has moved on to iseight
fosco
00000111 also came back false
downboots
no Roman numeral support either

BTW: For a tool that actually legitimately does this, look at Semgrep. Their playground example literally assigns 1 to a variable x, after which searching for "2" finds the expression "1 + x" in the code: https://semgrep.dev/playground/s/5rKgj
qot
Very similar to https://isevenapi.xyz/
Even down to injecting an ad into the response as a joke.
CobrastanJorji
That documentation is woefully inadequate. It provides only one example request, and then it shows two separate responses, and it doesn't make clear which one is associated with the request. It doesn't even describe the individual request fields, nor does it provide any response codes or a list of error codes/messages. How am I supposed to develop with this?
I do, however, appreciate the seven figure SLA. My service requires at least five nines of uptime, and seven figures is definitely more than five.
8n4vidtmkvmk
Seven figures is indeed more than five figures. Too bad they're all 7s.
seanhunter
7x7=49 > 45=5*9.
Ldo.
himata4113
complaint: someone entered "seven" and it crashed my entire infrastructure because the output returned a non standard 'kinda'.
LatticeAnimal
JSONQ supports quantum-aware booleans. Is there a reason you’re still using classical JSON parsing in 2026?
akoboldfrying
Enterprise looks promising, but before I take this to upper management: How many sevens of uptime are we talking?
timcobb
> 77.7% uptime SLA
looks like one 7
pugworthy
Seven Sigma is not all it's cut out to be.
NooneAtAll3
that's at least 3
forthwall
Needs an Agent skill! Gotta be more modern :)
verzali
Did not work, did not recognise 'VII' as seven.
dustimpact
Apparently “seven” is only kinda seven. I would argue that seven is seven!
simeonmiteff
Got to love that "kinda" is now a JSON bool value!
bombcar
I can use this as a random number generator; at least it's not nine.
rnoorda
It's just as random as any other number!
layer8
It hallucinates 6.9999999999999996 to be seven.
0xblinq
I wanted to subscribe and I can't! How do you expect to make any money if that doesn't work?!!1
iamgopal
No other numbers were harmed in the making of this API.
But their feeling hurts, especially primes.
csmantle
This Is Seven as a Service.
layer8
No, this is the test harness for Seven as a Service.
charcircuit
This SaaS actually will be replaced with an in house vibecoded solution.
s20n
Does this have an MCP server?
brap
+1. OP is clearly not read for the Agentic Era
darkhorse13
Is this SOC2 compliant?
seanhunter
We wanted to subscribe to the enterprise plan, but unfortunately:
- No Soc-2 compliance
- No sso support.
We asked if we could host on-prem or even byoc but that seems an impossible dream.

Does not work for Nw==
mwkaufma
TIL 6+1 is not seven.
zetanor
Oh, come on people. You don't need a cloud service for this. Just use the is-seven NPM package.

I will vibe code my way out of poverty:
system2
I like how you spent $10 for the domain for this. :)
amarant
10? That seems about $3 too much!
system2
The cheapest domain purchase can be made from CloudFlare. They are selling at ICANN's minimum fee. Which is $10...
cyanydeez
needs an MCP.
hyperhello
Eh, more better than Prolog.
Doesn't work for the other 125 encoded characters that are numerically seven, as defined in the Unicode Character Database:
