pyquotes
This is an API in python3 to get quotes.
Plan
Phase 1
The idea is to use scrap the quotes from various websites (BrainyQuote,quoteload). We will use beautifulsoup4 for this.
To get started with this you can watch a small tutorial here.
Functionalities to be supported are:
- Get quotes from particular topic, categories. (love, classics, passion)
- Get quotes from particular person. (George Orwell, Stephen King, J.K Rowling, etc)
Phase 2
Convert this into a pip package. Read more about pip here.

Phase 3
Use what we have built till now to make a twitter bot which will tweet quotes everyday. Guide on creating a twitter bot here
