FAQ

Questions The Cat API owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I find high-quality cat images of a specific breed?

    You can use the search_images capability and specify the size as 'full' and has_breeds as true. To find a specific breed's ID first, use the search_breeds capability.

  • 02

    Can I see all the images I have previously favorited?

    Yes! Use the get_favourites capability. It will retrieve a list of all cat images you have saved to your account.

  • 03

    How do I cast a vote on a cat image?

    Use the create_vote capability. You'll need the image_id and a value (1 for an upvote, 0 for a downvote).
