Installation

pip install -e git+https://github.com/mymi14s/quotes_library#egg=quotes_library

To use this library, you must have Python installed on your system

Usage

To use this library, you need to import the get_quotes function from the module. Here's a basic example of how to retrieve and print a random quote:

from quotes_library import get_quotes, get_authors, get_categories

Retrieve a single random quote

random_quote = get_quotes(random=True)
print(random_quote)
{'data': [{'author': 'Gayle Forman, Where She Went', 'category': 'love, romance', 'quote': "I force my eyes upward and look at Mia for the first time. She's still beautiful. Not in an obvious Vanessa LeGrande or Bryn Shraeder kind of way. In a quiet way that's always been devastating to me. Her hair, long and dark, is down now, swimming damply against her bare shoulders, which are still milky white and covered with the constellation of freckles that I used to kiss. The scar on her left shoulder, the one that used to be an angry red weld is silvery pink now. Almost like the latest rage in tattoo accessories. Almost pretty."}], 'status_code': 200, 'status_text': 'success'}

Advanced Usage

Here are more advanced ways to use the library: Retrieve Quotes by Category:

quotes = get_quotes(category='inspirational', count=5)
quotes = get_quotes(category='inspirational', count=5, random=True) # random quotes

Find Quotes by a Specific Author:

quotes = get_quotes(author='Mark Twain', count=3)

Get Multiple Random Quotes:

quotes = get_quotes(random=True, count=3)

Get Authors: authors = get_authors(count=5) authors = get_authors(count=5, random=True) # True|1 to randomize result # if no count supplied all authors will be retrieved.

Get Categories: categories = get_categories(count=5) categories = get_categories(count=5, random=True) # True|1 to randomize result # if no count supplied, all categories will be retrieved.

Error Handling

The library is designed to be resilient and provide useful feedback. In case of a database connection error or query failure, it returns a structured response indicating the status code and error message.
