Quotable Quotes

Verified Jul 2026

Quotable is a free, open-source REST API serving a large curated database of quotations, authors, and tags, documented as running at api.quotable.io. A live GET against that real gateway returned a genuine random quote while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming auth None in the same probe — but the host's TLS certificate expired in September 2024 (nearly two years ago), so standard certificate-verifying HTTP clients will reject the connection even though the backend itself still serves live, correctly-shaped data once verification is bypassed. Free and open source with no paid tier — pricingModel free.
