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. Guide on creating a pip package 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
