Dogs and cats as a single friendly API. List every dog breed and its sub-breeds and pull dog photos (e.g. breed=hound or hound/afghan, up to 10 at once), browse 60+ cat breeds with rich metadata — temperament, country of origin, life span, weight and child/dog-friendliness scores — pull cat photos, and grab a random cat fact. Three reliable, key-less open sources (dog.ceo, TheCatAPI, catfact.ninja) behind one clean envelope. Perfect for pet adoption and veterinary apps, kids and education content, Discord/Telegram bots, placeholder imagery, quizzes and any product that needs a quick hit of dogs and cats.

Dog Breeds (FCI) API

The FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) dog-breed nomenclature as an API — a clean breed reference for pet, veterinary, e-commerce and education apps. For each of 350+ internationally recognised breeds the API returns its FCI number, English name and names in German, French and Spanish, the FCI group (1–10, for example Terriers, Sighthounds, Sheepdogs, Companion and Toy Dogs), the section within that group, the country of origin and links to the official FCI breed standard (PDF) and illustration. Look a breed up by name or FCI number, search across all languages, list the breeds of an FCI group or from a country of origin, or list them all. Served from memory — always fast.

Cat Facts & Breeds API

Cat trivia and breed data via the open Cat Fact API (catfact.ninja) — no key. The fact endpoint returns a single random cat fact, optionally bounded to a maximum length; the facts endpoint pages through the full fact collection; and the breeds endpoint lists and searches cat breeds with their country, origin, coat and pattern. Real data, with the breed list cached for speed — no key. 4 endpoints. Ideal for pet apps, fun facts widgets, daily-fact bots, quizzes and onboarding delight.

Dog Breeds & Images API

Dog-breed images and the full breed taxonomy via the open Dog CEO collection — no key. The breeds endpoint returns every breed with its sub-breeds (e.g. hound → afghan, basset, blood, …). The images endpoint fetches a batch of photos for a given breed and optional sub-breed, and the random endpoint pulls a batch of random dog photos from across all breeds. Real images straight from the Dog CEO dataset, with the breed list cached for speed — no key. 4 endpoints. Ideal for pet apps, placeholder imagery, breed pickers, quizzes and fun UI seeding.

Flickr Photos API

Live public photo streams from Flickr, the original photo-sharing community, served from Flickr's open public feeds — no key, nothing cached. Flickr has hosted billions of photos from photographers, museums and agencies for two decades. The recent endpoint returns the newest public photos uploaded across all of Flickr right now, each with its title, photographer, capture and publish dates, tags and ready-to-use image URLs at several sizes. The tag endpoint returns the newest public photos for one or more tags — sunset, wildlife, street — the hashtag feed of Flickr, with a match-any or match-all mode. The user endpoint returns a photographer's most recent public photostream by their Flickr ID; institutions like NASA on The Commons publish here. Every photo comes back cleaned up: the photographer name pulled out of the raw author field, machine tags filtered away from human tags, and the static image URL expanded into square, small, medium and large variants plus a link to the photo page. Everything is live from Flickr's public feeds, nothing stored. This is the Flickr photo-discovery layer for any gallery, wallpaper, photography, moodboard or social app. Distinct from Pixelfed and mainstream social-network APIs — this is Flickr's public photo stream by recency, tag and user. Feeds return the 20 most recent public photos per query. 3 endpoints, no key on our side.
