The issue is that your toGetFacts method is never called. In order to do that you can add a constructor and call that method. Here is the entire class code. You also may need to define the RemoteSiteSettings for the EndPoint URL
public class CatFactsDaily { public String catFact3{ get; set; } public CatFactsDaily(){ toGetFacts(); } public void toGetFacts() { String requestEndPoint = 'https://catfact.ninja/fact'; Http http=new Http(); HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest(); request.setEndpoint(requestEndPoint); request.setMethod('GET'); HttpResponse response=http.send(request); if(response.getStatusCode()==200){ Map<String, Object> results=(Map<String, Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody()); catFact3=String.valueOf(results.get('fact')); }else { ApexPages.Message myMsg=new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'There was an error in reading Data'); ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg); } } }Please don't hesitate to mark this best answer.
