# API with Javascript

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

This is the API we will use
Usage - This API will give a JSON which will have two things
1. Image links in https. 
2. Status (Eg: success).

Main code to get that JSON from this API :
We will use fetch API of Javascript to get that json:

CODE:

```
const updateDogImage = async () => {
    const url = `https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random`;
    let data = await fetch(url);
    let parsedData = await data.json();
    
    let dogImgUrl = parsedData.message;

    //*dogIMGURl will be https://images.dog.ceo/breeds/mountain-bernese/n02107683_4885.jpg*

}
```

Then in the function, you can use .innerHTML to give this link (dogImgUrl ) to the image tag.

This function is necessary because await will not work without a function.
Then with the help of a URL, we can also find the dog breed's name.
