Equilibrium #12

Open markstickley opened 2 years ago

markstickley commented 2 years ago

Equilibrium is not being kept! The readme indicates that this repo is to keep the cat/dog equilibrium in check but I’m afraid while the APIs are not interoperable there is a certain unbalanced-ness to the whole situation! I’d really like to be able to use cats / dogs apis to distinguish between two environment with different settings without writing unique code for each api. Maybe adding a /fact endpoint and a /breeds endpoint would do it… Or perhaps we (developers, the internet, the world and its people) need a generic pets api that would allow for simple extension to accommodate other species…

I agree with you. I'm currently in the process of release V2 for this API in a whole different architecture, including breeds, pictures, etc. But I didn't thought about doing a Pet API for the matter.

Maybe it's a good opportunity to at least standardize the API responses (JSON API, could be), in order to have similar APIs for different pets?

Sounds great! Definitely worth at least considering it while working on v2 in case there is time to expand it further :)
