Overview

Movie Quote API is a free, no-auth REST API that returns random quotes from popular movies and TV series along with the title and character name. Call the /quote endpoint and receive a random quote as a JSON object — no signup or key required. It is an excellent beginner API for building quote generators, testing fetch requests, or learning JSON handling.
