GitHub Octocat API

The GitHub Octocat API is a playful, non-functional endpoint in GitHubs REST API that returns an ASCII-art rendering of the Octocat mascot as plain text. Its primarily meant for fun and demospeople often use it to sanity-check connectivity, see how the API formats responses and headers, or showcase simple requests without touching real repository data. It doesnt manage or expose any GitHub resources, and in some clients you can even supply a short message that the Octocat says.
