QuoteSlate API

About QuoteSlate

QuoteSlate is a powerful API that provides access to a vast collection of inspirational quotes. With support for filtering by author, length, and tags, you can easily find the perfect quote for your needs. Whether you're building a motivational app, a writing tool, or just looking for daily inspiration, QuoteSlate has got you covered!

⚠️ Responsible Use Guidelines

Optimize Requests & Cache Data

To ensure the best experience for everyone:

  • Use the count parameter to fetch multiple quotes (up to 50) in a single request
  • Implement local caching in your application
  • Pre-fetch quotes when possible to reduce API calls

Commercial & High-Volume Usage

If your project is commercial or requires frequent API calls:

  • Fork the repository and deploy your own instance
  • Consider implementing load balancing for very high-volume needs
  • The public API is primarily intended for personal and small-scale projects
