Overview

EmojiHub returns random or category-filtered emojis with their Unicode name, character, and HTML entity. No auth needed, making it ideal as a first REST API project.

Beginner Tip

The simplest call is GET /api/random—no parameters needed. Browse categories in the GitHub README to build filtered requests.

How This API Fails

We deliberately sent this API a broken request and recorded exactly what came back on 2026-08-10. Knowing the shape of an error before you hit it makes error handling much easier to write.

HTTP 404 Requesting a path that does not exist text/plain
404 page not found

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

404 Not Found Typo in the category or group name in the URL path
Check the full list of valid category slugs in the GitHub README before building your URL
Emoji character not displaying Rendering the unicode field as plain text instead of a character
Use the htmlCode field in innerHTML, or parse unicode with String.fromCodePoint()
CORS error in browser Some hosted instances restrict cross-origin requests
Use the official endpoint https://emojihub.yurace.pro/api/ which allows CORS
