This API route should return a random doggo image, but instead it will always return the same one.

you would use the export const dynamic = 'auto' method and set it to force-dynamic for example

GET route handlers are cached by default.
You can opt out of caching by:
* Using the Request object with the GET method.
* Using any of the other HTTP methods.
* Using Dynamic Functions like cookies and headers.
* The Segment Config Options manually specifies dynamic mode.

wow quick response thanks
Using any of the other HTTP methods. wdym by that exactly? i just need it to return some data
or how do i Using the Request object with the GET method.
@Yellowhead catfish `Using any of the other HTTP methods.` wdym by that exactly? i just need it to return some data

with some other HTTP method I mean like "post, delete, put, ...". Of course that does not suite your case, so choose another opt out variant ^^
I recommend you the last one segment config:
