FavQs.com

API

Free API for discovering, collecting, and sharing favorite quotes

Overview

The FavQs API provides RESTful access to a diverse database of quotes. Key endpoints include searching quotes by keyword, author, or tag; fetching random quotes; and accessing curated lists. Responses are in JSON format. Use cases include integrating quote widgets into websites, adding inspirational content to mobile apps, building quote-sharing platforms, or enhancing personal projects with thematic quotes. Public endpoints require no authentication, while user-specific actions (like saving favorites) may need an API key.
