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.
Beginner Tip
Call /quote for a single random quote; the default language is English, and you can append ?lang=fa for Persian-language quotes if needed.
