For this lab we'll be using the Favqs Quotes API to first get a random quote, and then allow the user to find quotes by keyword. To accomplish this we'll be using the requests library.
The URL to get a random quote is https://favqs.com/api/qotd, send a request here, parse the JSON in the response into a python dictionary, and show the quote and the author.
The Favqs Quote API also supports getting a list of quotes associated with a given keyword https://favqs.com/api/quotes?page=<page>&filter=<keyword>. Prompt the user for a keyword, list the quotes you get in response, and prompt the user to either show the next page or enter a new keyword. You can use string concatenation to build the URL.

25 quotes associated with nature - page 1
<list of quotes>
> enter 'next page' or 'done': next page
25 quotes associated with nature - page 2
<list of quotes>
> enter 'next page' or 'done': done
> enter a keyword to search for quotes:
