Going to https://uinames.com shows that the account at the hosting provider was suspended.

Do you expect to get it working again?

Same issue here. It was working just fine yesterday. Cloudflare is not reporting any problems on their website.

Does anyone know of any alternatives to them for React-Native? I just need to generate a few random users with pics.

Hey, thanks for reporting and apologies. Traffic to the public API has been getting a bit out of hand, which is something I didn't anticipate a few years ago. It's unsuspended just now, but I'm contemplating how to continue without causing my hosting provider repeated trouble and without investing more time on maintenance than is worth it to me.

Full transparency: I hope to figure something out in the next few days, but might otherwise end up reinstating just the front/website itself, and taking down the public API behind it.

In the meantime, a service that provides pretty similar results is https://randomuser.me/
