Programming Quotes API for open source projects.

Docs: programming-quotes-api.herokuapp.com

Convention: The names of the authors are as on Wikipedia.

I am open to your feature requests. Also, you can send me your client apps if you want to share it with the world :)

GET /quotes (get all quotes)

GET /quotes/random (get random quote)

GET /quotes/5a6ce86f2af929789500e824 (get quote by id)

GET /quotes/author/Edsger W. Dijkstra (get quote by author)

You can also POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE. See API documentation for more.

You can use Wikipedia API for author's image and info.

To get author's image:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Fred%20Brooks&prop=pageimages&format=json&pithumbsize=250

To get author info:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Fred%20Brooks&prop=extracts&format=json&exintro=1

Note that you can change titles, pithumbsize and other params. The %20 character (as in Fred%20Brooks) is for empty space.
