About Quotes on Design

Quotes on Design provides an API for retrieving design-related quotes, built on top of the WordPress REST API v2 with an added parameter to support random ordering (?orderby=rand) against the /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/ endpoint. Earlier versions of the API (including a v1 that depended on a plugin) have been discontinued; all prior API versions have been shut down in favor of this WordPress-native approach.

The API is free to use and is curated by Chris Coyier. It is maintained with minimal ongoing effort, relying on WordPress's built-in REST functionality rather than custom infrastructure to reduce long-term technical debt, which the maintainer notes results in fewer features than earlier versions of the API.

Key features
