The Quote API is a simple RESTful API that allows you to fetch and create quotes. It provides endpoints to retrieve random quotes, fetch quotes by author, and add new quotes.

This is part of Codecademy's Full-Stack Engineer Career Path.

To get started with the Quote API, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install the dependencies by running npm install.
3. Start the server by running node server.js.
4. The server will start running on http://localhost:4001.

The Quote API provides the following endpoints:

Returns a random quote from the collection of quotes.

Example response:

json { "quote": "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.", "person": "Nelson Mandela" }

Returns quotes by the specified author.

Example request: /api/quotes?person=Nelson Mandela

Example response:

json { "quotes": [ { "quote": "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.", "person": "Nelson Mandela" }, { "quote": "It always seems impossible until it's done.", "person": "Nelson Mandela" } ] }

Adds a new quote to the collection.

Example request: /api/quotes?quote=Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.&person=Oscar Wilde

Example response:

json { "quote": "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.", "person": "Oscar Wilde" }

The Quote API uses the following dependencies:

• Express: A fast and minimalist web framework for Node.js.
• Morgan: A middleware for logging HTTP requests.
• Nodemon (devDependency): A utility that automatically restarts the server when changes are made during development.
