Dog API

This is the Dog API and it provides dog facts as a service dogdog 🐶

Add to Slack

This will enable two things:

• One daily random fact posted in the channel you select.
• A Slack slash command (/dogfact) to retrieve a single fact on any channel.

If installation was successful you'll receive a welcome message :)

Privacy Policy

Dog Facts is just for fun. The only data retained by Dog Facts is your team webhook url (which is required to post Dog Facts messages to your Slack). Otherwise, no data is kept.

For questions or support, please contact directly through Twitter https://twitter.com/kinduff or chat with me at https://keybase.io/kinduff/chat

Use it as an API

Live endpoint: http://dog-api.kinduff.com

Path	Description	Parameters
/api/facts	Returns an object with dog facts	?number=5
/api/facts?raw=true	Returns one fact in plain text

Host it yourself

First make sure you have the following dependencies installed.

• Ruby greater than 2.3.0
• SQLite3

Go ahead and clone this repository.

git clone [e-mail]:kinduff/dog-api.git

Then install the dependencies.

bundle install

After that you'll need to setup your database, run the following command to run migrations and fill out your database with the latest dog facts included in the db/seeds.rb file.

rake db:setup

And finally, start the server by running the following command.

rake server

Or just rake by it self. The application should now be running in http://localhost:4567.

In order to run the tests, just run:

rake spec

Why you made this?

There's a Cat API that returns cat facts. I like cats but I like dogs more. Equilibrium must exists.
