Instructions

This small RESTful API will make requests to an external web service: https://shibe.online/. You have to build several endpoints that returns JSON. Feel free to organize your files like it is a real API (think scalability).

You will implement a simple UI in React/Redux which allows us to visually browse API data.

GET /shibes - Page "Shibes list"

Will make a request to fetch shibes from the external API.

GET /cats - Page "Cats list"

Will make a request to fetch cats from the external API.

GET /birds - Page "Birds list"

Will make a request to fetch birds from the external API.

GET /animals - Page "Animals list"

Lists all type of animals

Querystring parameter	Description	Required	Default value	Validations
protocol	Get https or http urls	yes	none	Can only accept http or https
count	Number of entries per animal type to return	no	1	Must be a number, min 1, max 30
url	Get full URL or image ID	no	true	true/false

    },

Bonus:

Make a middleware that catch and log errors
