randquotes

Description

This package connects to the site http://quotesondesign.com/ that uses the WordPress JSON REST API to provide a way for you to grab quotes.

Overview

This package contains the following function: randquote() that fetches a random quote and returns a dataframe along with the author name and link to the quote.

Installation

The stable version of randquotes can be installed from CRAN:

install.packages("randquotes")

And the development version can be installed from github:

Note

This package fetches data from API hence an active internet connection is required for this package to function.

library(randquotes)

# current verison
packageVersion("randquotes")

Usage

Get Random Quote

library(randquotes)

randquote()

Get only the Quote

Sometimes you may not be interested in getting a dataframe that has ID and link, so this function randquote_simple() outputs only the quote with author name.

cat(randquotes::randquote_simple())
