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 :)

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.

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 git@github.com: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.
rake db:migrate
And finally, fill out your database with the latest dog facts included in the db/seeds.rb file.
rake db:seed
Run the application by running the following command.
rake server
Or just rake by it self. The application should now be running in http://localhost:4567.
Why you made this?
There's a Cat API that returns cat facts. I like cats but I like dogs more. Equilibrium must exists.
