This is an API in python3 to get quotes.
The idea is to use scrap the quotes from various websites (BrainyQuote,quoteload). We will use beautifulsoup4 for this.
To get started with this you can watch a small tutorial here.
Functionalities to be supported are:
- Get quotes from particular topic, categories. (love, classics, passion)
- Get quotes from particular person. (George Orwell, Stephen King, J.K Rowling, etc)
Convert this into a pip package. Read more about pip here.

Use what we have built till now to make a twitter bot which will tweet quotes everyday. Guide on creating a twitter bot here
