RandomDuck vs RandomFox
RandomDuck
Random-d.uk's /random endpoint returns a JSON object linking to a random duck photo or GIF, with a type query parameter to request JPG or GIF specifically. A companion /randomimg endpoint serves the image file directly instead of the JSON wrapper, and the service also accepts community-submitted duck photos.
RandomFox
RandomFox.ca returns a JSON object with a direct image URL and a shareable link to a random fox photo drawn from a community-submitted collection. It's a free, keyless hobby project with no published rate limit or pricing tier.
