For random images there is also https://picsum.photos/.

Also AI generators like https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ and https://imgflip.com/ai-meme.

I don't know if the AI generators have an API, or if they like people using their images as random assets. So maybe you can focus on that?

Really nice, thanks for the heads up. While I was looking for something similar I somehow didn't find picsum.photos, interesting indeed! I stumbled upon placekitten and other services but great to see that the idea I had is actually something done by others too.

You're right, I'll check into the AI generated images, I currently have a pretty beefy GPU machine at home that I was searching a use-case for :)
