Quote of the Day API

Endpoint

GET /api/v1/quote-of-the-day

Parameters

Parameter Type Default Description
language string - Language filter (ko, en)

Example

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer im_live_xxxx..." \
  "https://inspireme.advenoh.pe.kr/api/v1/quote-of-the-day?language=ko"

Response

{
  "data": {
    "id": "q-abc123",
    "content": "Have a great day today",
    "author": "Socrates",
    "language": "en",
    "topics": ["motivation"],
    "tags": ["daily"],
    "date": "2026-03-08"
  }
}

How It Works

  • A quote is deterministically selected each day using a date-based hash.
  • The same quote is returned to all users on the same day.
  • When language is not specified, the quote is selected from the entire language pool.

Response Field Descriptions

The actual response includes more fields than shown in the example above.

content string Quote text
author string Author name
authorId string Author ID
authorInfo object Author details (name, nationality, birth/death years, etc.)
language string Original language

tags string[] Tag list
translations array Multilingual translation list (lang, content)

Caching

The Quote of the Day is cached in Redis for 24 hours.

  • Cache key: public:qotd:{language} (separated by language)
  • TTL: 24 hours
  • Refresh: Automatically refreshed on the first request of a new day

You can check the cache status using the X-Cache response header.

  • X-Cache: HIT — Served from cache (fast)
  • X-Cache: MISS — Fetched from database and cached (first request)

Tip: Since the Quote of the Day changes only once per day, consider caching on the client side to reduce unnecessary API calls.
