Getting Started
Introduction
Learn about Quote Gallery, its features, and what you can build with the API.
Quote Gallery is a platform for discovering, curating, and sharing quotes. The public API gives you programmatic access to the entire catalog — quotes, authors, playlists, and categories — so you can build whatever you want on top of it.
What you can build
The API is a good fit for a wide range of projects. Some common use cases:
- Quote of the Day widgets and email digests
- Author biography pages with their most popular quotes
- Thematic playlists embedded in a blog or app
- Discord and Slack bots that post a daily quote
- Animated quote slideshows embedded directly on a website (no API key required on the client)
Key features
Multi-language support
Quotes are available in English, Dutch, and Turkish, with more languages being added regularly.
Rich metadata
Every quote includes author details, categories, like counts, and timestamps.
Curated playlists
Browse community-created and officially curated playlists — themed collections ready to use.
Simple authentication
Pass a single API key in a header. No OAuth, no token exchange, no complexity.
Iframe embed
Drop a live animated quote slideshow onto any website with a single
<iframe> tag. Your API key stays server-side.API versions
