Quotable
Quotable is free, open source quotations API. This package is built on top of Quotable project, to provide quick access to the quotable API directly into your project without calling any route yourself.
Servers

of the Quotable API.

is always the more stable version, whilst staging gets features first.

| Production | api.quotable.io | The primary API server |

$ npm install quotable --save

Methods
In this version 1.1.0, only two methods are supported, but we're looking forward for more awesome way of fetching quotes from the quotable API.
All methods are available under the quotable object. Import the package in your project.
const quotable = require('quotable');
Get random Quote
Looking for a random quote for your project, want to greet user with some awesome but new quote everytime. Well this is the best way to achieve this.
Just call the getRandomQuote()
, use the awesome async/await within your asynchronous
functions.
const aNewQuote = await quotable.getRandomQuote();
console.log(aNewQuote);
/*
{
return: true
//Request Succesfull
_id: string
// The quotation text
content: string
// The full name of the author
author: string
// The length of quote (number of characters)
length: number
// An array of tag names for this quote
tags: string[]
}
*/
Not inside an asynchronous
function? Pass a callback as the second argument to the getRandomQuote()
quotable.getRandomQuote({ /* Params here */}, (aNewQuote) => {
console.log(aNewQuote);
/*
{
return: true
//Request Succesfull
_id: string
// The quotation text
content: string
// The full name of the author
author: string
// The length of quote (number of characters)
length: number
// An array of tag names for this quote
tags: string[]
}
*/
});
You can get more control over the random quote you can get by passing the params as the first argument to getRandomQuote()
| param | type | Description |
| :-------- | :------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| maxLength | Int
| The maximum Length in characters ( can be combined with minLength
) |
| minLength | Int
| The minimum Length in characters ( can be combined with maxLength
) |
| tags | String
| Filter random quote by tag(s). Takes a list of one or more tag names, separated by a comma (meaning AND
) or a pipe (meaning OR
). A comma separated list will match quotes that have all of the given tags. While a pipe (\|
) separated list will match quotes that have either of the provided tags.
| authorId | String
| Filter random quote by authorId(s). Takes a list of one or more authorId, separated by a pipe (meaning OR
). A pipe (\|
) separated list will match quotes that have either of the provided authorId.
| author | String
| Filter random quote by author(s). Takes a list of one or more author names, separated by a pipe (meaning OR
). A pipe (\|
) separated list will match quotes that have either of the provided author name.

For Example:
const aNewQuote = await quotable.getRandomQuote({minLength: 45, maxLength: 50});
console.log(aNewQuote);
/*
{
return: true
//Request Succesfull
_id: string
// The quotation text
content: string
// The full name of the author
author: string
// The length of quote (number of characters) >=45 && <=50
length: number
// An array of tag names for this quote
tags: string[]
}
*/
List Quotes
Get a paginated list of all quotes. This method supports several filter and sorting options.
getQuotes()
is used to list the quotes.
const quotes = await quotable.getQuotes() //inside an async function
console.log(quotes)
/*
{
// The number of quotes returned by this request
count: number
// The total number of quotes matching this request
totalCount: number
// The index of the last quote returned. When paginating through results,
// this value would be used as the `skip` parameter when requesting the next
// "page" of results.
lastItemIndex: number
// The array of quotes
results: Array<{
_id: string
// The quotation text
content: string
// The full name of the author
author: string
// The length of quote (number of characters)
length: number
// An array of tag names for this quote
tags: string[]
}>
