Welcome to the CatFacts API. The world's premier API for finding facts about cats!

Sadly this API is not secure yet.

All requests should include the following query parameters:

• t - the timestamp as an Unix Timestamp Integer
• client - the public key
• token - SHA256 hash of the user's secret key and the timestamp they generated the request

Any timestamp older than 2 minutes should be refused.

Let's say your boss told you there's a client with these details:

• Public Key: charlie_kelly
• Secret Key: k1tten_m1tt3ns
