MeowFacts API
Overview
MeowFacts returns random, verified facts about cats such as their sleep habits, hunting instincts, and biological quirks. It has zero setup and no authentication, making it ideal for beginners who want to practice fetching JSON and rendering text content on a webpage. You can request multiple facts at once and filter by language using simple query parameters.
Beginner Tip
Fetch https://meowfacts.herokuapp.com/ and parse the "data" array — each element is one cat fact string. Add ?count=3 to receive three facts in a single call.
