Getting Started with Echoes API

Authentication

Simple usage of the Echoes API doesn't require authentication. However, for high-volume usage, you may need to obtain an API key.

Make Your First Request

Here's a JavaScript example to get a simple quote:

fetch('https://echoes.soferity.com/api/quotes/random')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  });

This request will return a random quote. The response will look something like this:

{
  "id": 42,
  "lang": "en",
  "author": "Albert Einstein",
  "quote": "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
}
