Quotable is a free, open-source REST API for random quotes and author data, originally built as a FreeCodeCamp project. It serves JSON endpoints for random quotes, quote search, author listings, and tags with a rate limit of 180 requests per minute.

Use cases

  • get random quotes for a quote generator app
  • search quotes by author or tags
  • fetch author details for a quotes website
  • build a daily quote widget
  • get paginated lists of quotes as
  • find quotes by keyword for a blog

When to choose

  • you need a free quotes API with no API key for a frontend project
  • you want JSON quote data for learning or demo apps
  • you need author metadata alongside quotes

When to avoid

  • you need quotes in languages other than English
  • you require guaranteed uptime or an SLA for production
  • you need more than 180 requests per minute
