kanye.rest vs Quotable Quotes

kanye.rest returns a single random quote attributed to Kanye West as JSON, sourced from a fixed, community-maintained dataset. A live GET against the real gateway, api.kanye.rest, returned a genuine quote while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both cors yes and auth None — no base-field corrections were needed. A fully free, keyless novelty API — pricingModel free.

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.
