Content

Currently the file contains 213 quotes, however, more quotes are going to come in the future.
You can ask to add quotes by opening either an issue or a pull request

Usage

1 - With .txt file (online)

Example to print a random quote from the online file

import requests, random

file_url = "https://zeyatsu.github.io/k-on-quotes/quotes.txt" # No need to download the txt file.
response = requests.get(file_url)

if response.status_code == 200:
    lines = response.text.splitlines()
    random_line = random.choice(lines)
    print(random_line)
else:
    print("Error: ", response.status_code)

2 - With .json file (online)

import random
import requests

json_url = "https://zeyatsu.github.io/k-on-quotes/quotes.json" # No need to download the json file.

response = requests.get(json_url)

if response.status_code == 200:
    data = response.json()
    random_author = random.choice(list(data["authors"].keys()))
    random_quote = random.choice(data["authors"][random_author])

    print(f"{random_quote} by {random_author}")

For characters replace "k-on-quotes/quotes.json" by "k-on-quotes/characters/the_character_you_want.json"

Splitting the quote from the author

quote, author = random_quote.strip().split(" / ")
print(f"Quote: {quote} by {author}")

Fixing UnicodeError when using local file

If you download the quotes.txt file instead of using the url, it is possible to get a UnicodeError. In this case, you will have to add a encoding parameter

with open('quotes.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
