Programming Quotes API for open source projects.
Status: currently without free hosting. You can help the project by hosting this API.
This open source API provides a large collection of programming quotes and their authors. These can be searched and favoured. This allows the citations to be filtered according to personal preferences. Quotes can also be edited, created and deleted.
Convention: The names of the authors are as on Wikipedia.
First, set env variable ProgrammingQuotesSecret to any string you like (but not too short).
Then, start the project locally:
dotnet build
dotnet watch run
Listening on: http://localhost:5000 and https://localhost:5001

GET /quotes/random (get random quote)
GET /quotes/5a6ce86f2af929789500e824 (get quote by id)
GET /quotes/author/Edsger W. Dijkstra (get quote by author)
You can also POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE. See Swagger docs for more.
