catApi is a minimal, self-hostable API endpoint for serving pictures of, you guessed it, cats! but it could be used to serve anything, really

There are two ways to "use" catApi - you can either serve it, blessing the world with pictures of your cat or be served. Below is the API documentation for visiting an existing instance of catApi.

catApi exposes several endpoints.

/api/id will return the image with the associated ID.

For example http://localhost:3000/api/id?id=3 will return the image with the ID of "3".

/api/list will return eturn a JSON object containing data about the images within the /images directory

For example, http://localhost:3000/api/random will return a JSON object that might be as follows

[{"id":"0","url":"/api/id?id=0"},{"id":"1","url":"/api/id?id=1"},{"id":"2","url":"/api/id?id=2"}]

/api/random will return a random image from the list of available images
