API

Cute dog images for every HTTP response status code

Overview

HTTP Dog offers RESTful endpoints for every standard HTTP status code (e.g., /200, /404, /500) that return high-quality dog images paired with the code’s meaning. Each GET request to a status code path responds with an optimized JPEG/PNG image. Ideal use cases include enhancing error pages with playful visuals, educational tools for teaching HTTP statuses, and testing UI/UX for API response handling. No authentication is required, making integration quick and straightforward for web developers, educators, and creative projects.
