🐱 Building a Dynamic API with Spring Boot and Cat Facts #SpringBoot` `#Java` `#API` `#CatFacts` `#BackendDevelopment`

Ever taken on a project that seems simple at first but ends up teaching you a ton about real-world API work? That was my experience with this task — building a /me endpoint that returns profile information along with a random cat fact.

The goal was to create a RESTful API that:

Responds to GET/me
Returns my name, email, and stack
Fetches a random cat fact dynamically from the Cat Facts API
Includes the current UTC timestamp in ISO 8601 format
And finally, deploy it to Railway
