# Programming Quotes

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/programming-quotes/  
**APIs profiled:** 2

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.
