description: Free, open-source REST API serving a curated collection of programming-related quotes. Public endpoints return
  random quotes, paginated lists, author filters, and single quote lookups; authenticated endpoints support voting, favoriting,
  and quote authorship (CRUD). Originally seeded from the skolakoda community project on GitHub, the API is widely used as
  a demo data source and a free data feed for developer portfolio sites, tutorials, CLIs, and IDE extensions.
