Ron Swanson Quotes

About Ron Swanson Quotes

Ron Swanson Quotes is a Node.js API server that returns quotes attributed to the Ron Swanson character from the television show Parks and Recreation. It exposes endpoints to retrieve a single random quote, a specified count of quotes, and quotes matching a search term, with an OpenAPI 3 schema available describing the interface. The production instance is hosted on Heroku and sets the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to allow requests from any domain.

The repository is archived and no longer actively maintained; the original author has stated no further code changes will be made, though they intend to intervene if the hosted instance becomes unavailable. The project has been used in tutorials, bootcamp projects, and Alexa skills. It is suited for developers who want a simple example API for learning purposes or for embedding novelty quote content into applications. A Hubot integration script and a JSFiddle demo are also referenced as usage examples.
