Doggo-Showcase

Doggo Showcase is a compact learning project focused on understanding how to interact with public REST APIs

Objective

This project helps learners practice the essentials of API work:

• Making HTTP GET requests
• Handling JSON responses
• Updating a UI based on fetched data
• Managing loading and error states
• Writing clean, readable code
• Structuring a minimal, functional application The goal is to build a self-contained mini project that demonstrates the student’s ability to consume a public API.

API Endpoint

This project uses the publicly available endpoint:

https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random

What You Can Build

Participants can create any small interface of their choice:

• A simple website that displays a new dog image on button click with the Breed Name
• A mobile app that refreshes images with the Breed Name
• A clean card-style viewer
• Any UI experiment that uses the API effectively

Creativity in presentation is encouraged, but the core requirement remains API interaction.
