Dogs

API

Free REST API for dog images and breeds from the Stanford Dogs Dataset

Overview

The Dogs API offers access to dog images and breed data sourced from the Stanford Dogs Dataset. Key endpoints include random dog images (/api/breeds/image/random), breed-specific images (/api/breed/{breed}/images), full breed lists (/api/breeds/list/all), and sub-breed details (/api/breed/{breed}/list). Responses are JSON-formatted with no authentication required. Ideal use cases: building pet apps, educational tools for dog breeds, testing UI image components, or creating fun dog content for users. It supports multiple image requests and sub-breed filtering, making it versatile for diverse projects.
