Quote API Python

Random Quote Generator API

In this project, we will build a RESTful API that generates random quotes. The quotes will be stored in a database and the API will expose endpoints for CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete).

Here are some additional features we can add:

• Filter quotes by author name or keyword in the text
• Allow users to rate quotes and retrieve a list of top-rated quotes
• Add user authentication and authorization to restrict access to quote creation, deletion, and updating

Technologies Used

• Python
• FastAPI
• SQLAlchemy
• SQLite

2.Search in Quotes:
