Random Animal Facts Node.js API

With today's post, we are excited to share a really interesting Node.js project! We have built an API with the Express Framework that randomizes fun facts about cats and dogs.

API response example

This project is not only interesting for beginners in Node.js, but it might come in handy if you are building a front-end project and you want to fetch async some test data from a simple API.

Likewise, keep in mind that the entire development process was recorded and is available on my YouTube channel. The video covers the project setup, all the way to pushing it live on Heroku. Check it out!

You can also check the repository here.

As always, any feedback is appreciated.

Lol, let's make it rain cat and dog facts : ) If you need another place to push this project live given the end of Heroku's free tier, you can check out Render. There's a quickstart for Node and Express here and some more guides around the web, like this one.
