Append a status code plus .json to get a small object with the code, its title, and links to matching dog images in several formats. It is a cousin of HTTP Cat, but this metadata endpoint actually returns JSON. Good for docs, error pages, or a laugh.

HTTP Dog: common questions

Is HTTP Dog free to use?

Yes — HTTP Dog is a free animals API. Free tier: Free — limits not published. Whether the free tier allows commercial use is unclear — check the provider docs.

Does HTTP Dog need an API key?

No — HTTP Dog needs no API key or signup. You can call it straight away; rate limits still apply (Unpublished).

Can I call HTTP Dog from the browser?

Not directly — HTTP Dog doesn't send browser-friendly CORS headers, so call it from a server or proxy instead. Copy the curl or Python snippet on this page to get started.

Is HTTP Dog up right now?

As of our last scheduled check, HTTP Dog is healthy with 100% uptime over 90 days and a 57 ms median response. We re-probe it every sweep — the status badge and uptime chart above always show the latest.
