PlaceDog: common questions

Is PlaceDog free to use?

Yes — PlaceDog 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 PlaceDog need an API key?

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 You can call it straight away; rate limits still apply (Unpublished).

Can I call PlaceDog from the browser?

Not directly — PlaceDog 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 PlaceDog up right now?

PlaceDog is catalogued but not yet on our probe schedule, so we don't publish a live status for it. Check the provider's own status page or docs for its current state.
