Overview

Shibe.Online delivers random image URLs of Shiba Inu dogs, cats, or birds with a single GET request. Beginners love it because there is no API key, no sign-up, and the response is just a JSON array of image URLs you can paste straight into an img tag. It is a perfect first API to try in a browser or with curl.

Beginner Tip

Call https://shibe.online/api/shibes?count=1 and you will get back a one-element JSON array containing a direct image URL — no complex parsing needed.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Mixed content blocked The base domain uses http://, which modern browsers block when your page is on https

✓ Use https://shibe.online/api/shibes instead of the http:// root URL

count value too high Requesting more than 100 images at once may return an error or an empty array

✓ Keep the count parameter between 1 and 100 per request

Empty array returned Using /api/cats or /api/birds without httpsUrls=true on a strict client

✓ Always add httpsUrls=true to the query string to ensure usable image links

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
