As a fan of anime and a developer looking to improve my skills and build fun pojects, I recently worked on a fun side project: an Anime Quotes API! This API allows users to retrieve random anime quotes or search for quotes based on anime titles or characters.
The Idea
Anime fans often have favorite lines from their beloved shows. This API aims to make those memorable quotes accessible in a simple and organized way.
Features
- Random Anime Quote: Get a surprise quote from a huge collection of popular anime.
- Search Functionality: Search for quotes by anime title or character name.
Tech Stack
I used Flask, a lightweight Python web framework, to build this API. Flask's simplicity made it an excellent choice for a quick and straightforward project. Data is stored in a CSV file, keeping it simple yet effective for this use case.
Challenges
Building the search functionality to handle flexible queries (e.g., partial matches for anime titles or character names) was a learning experience. I kept the code straightforward to ensure that it's easy for others to contribute and expand upon.
Code and Contribution
The project is hosted on Github and can be viewed on Vercel. Contributors are welcome! Whether you want to add quotes, refine the search, or even suggest new features, there's room for collaboration.

What's Next?
This is just the start! I plan to expand the quote database, implement caching, add new features, add more use cases, and explore ways to make the API even more engaging for developers and anime fans.
If you're an anime fan or a developer looking to contribute to a fun project, feel free to check the code or suggest ideas. Let's make this project even more awesome! 😊
