Random quotes not working

[CodeWithPol]

While using the quotes widget with the "random quotes" setting selected, the quote says "Unable to get random quote". It works fine with the developer quotes.

I use brave browser. Everything else works perfectly other than that.

Thanks!

looks like the API used by the widget has been down for a couple weeks: https://github.com/lukePeavey/quotable/issues

Is there any way to make the previous api as in tabliss? I read that a key is needed, which is enough to get for free on the site.

There is a local fix that worked for me.

It looks like quotable.io is completely down. I suggest we use API Ninjas Quotes API here: https://api-ninjas.com/api/quotes .

edit: that is a paid service, I found an open source alternative: https://goquotes.docs.apiary.io
