We recently shared the journey behind the inception of The Cat API, evolving from a weekend hack into an educational tool. Now, we’re excited to introduce The Cat API Premium, tailored for businesses seeking to integrate specific cat-related datasets into their products or websites for commercial purposes.
While The Cat API remains freely accessible for students and developers aiming to infuse cat-related fun into their projects, the Premium version caters to commercial use, offering additional data points and a higher monthly request limit. Here’s a breakdown of what The Cat API Premium has to offer:
- Commercial License: For those utilizing the Cat API for business purposes, the premium account provides a commercial license.
- Cat Facts and Breed Info: Beyond just photos, premium account holders gain access to advanced filter queries, allowing them to retrieve images for specific breeds. Additionally, behavioral insights associated with each breed enrich the dataset.
- Increased API Calls: While the free version serves well for student projects, the premium account is designed for long-term and extensive use of the Cat API.
- Reliable API Authentication and Protection: Leveraging our Auth API, we ensure secure management of API calls, providing a robust layer of authentication and protection.
And that’s not all; we’re continuously enhancing our APIs with exciting features. Here’s a sneak peek at upcoming additions:
- Medical Data: Recognizing the fragmented nature of medical data for pets, we are working on bridging that gap, offering comprehensive medical information in the near future.
- Real-time Webhooks: Stay ahead with our real-time webhooks, ensuring instant access to all the latest data added to the API.
Cats undeniably hold a special place in the online world. With “Cats” being one of the most-searched-for terms and feline-centric YouTube videos amassing over 26 billion views, they stand out as the most popular category on the platform. We can tell you first hand, our Cat API is far more popular than our Dog API, one possible reason for this was revealed in an University of Texas study showing that individuals who favor cats tend to be introverted, sensitive, non-conformist, and creative—traits commonly observed among many Internet users.
Given the widespread appeal of cats, incorporating them into your website can turn any customer experience into a positive one. Whether you run a pet-centric company or have specific data needs yet to be met, The Cat API is a no-brainer. We welcome feedback and are eager to hear your thoughts on how we can further enhance our offerings to suit your needs.
