Hello there today let’s learn how to get quotes from various authors using the quote<\/strong> module in python. So let’s begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generating a random keyword<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To get quotes from various backgrounds we will generate a random keyword every time and the program will return a quote from a particular author revolving around the keyword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get any random English word we make use of the random_word<\/code> module. The random_word module can be used to generate either a single random word or a list of random words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can install the module using the pip<\/code> command if importing the same gives you an error. Let’s look at the following lines of code first.<\/p>\n\n\n

\nfrom random_word import RandomWords\nr = RandomWords()\nw = r.get_random_word()\nprint(w)\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Here we imported a function named RandomWords<\/code> from the module and created an object of the same which will be helpful to extract words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later we applied the get_random_word<\/code> function on the object created to create a random word and stored the same into a variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The code generated a random word from English dictionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get a random quote using the quote module in Python<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now that we have a random keyword with us, the next step is to generate a quote for the keyword using the quote<\/code> library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If importing the library gives an error make sure you install quote library using the pip<\/code> command beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s look at the following code.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nfrom quote import quote\nres = quote('family',limit=1)\nprint(res)\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
To generate a random quote we will be using the quote<\/code> function from the quote module. The quote function requires a keyword to search for the quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also set the limit value to limit the no of quotes being generated. But on printing the output we get something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n[{'author': 'J.R.R. Tolkien', 'book': 'The Fellowship of the Ring', 'quote': "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."}]\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
The reason behind the same is that the quote function returns a list of dictionaries where each dictionary<\/a> contains information about a particular quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So we will be extracting the quote value from the dictionary. To do the same we will use the following lines of code.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nfor i in range(len(res)):\n    print(res[i]['quote'])\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
What we are doing here is traversing through the list and for each dictionary value we will print only the value next to the quote<\/code> key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now we get the output as the following:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nI don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Getting a random quote using a random word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now we learned about generating a keyword and quotes using different modules, let’s combine both of them and generate a quote according to a particular keyword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The code for the same is shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nfrom random_word import RandomWords\nfrom quote import quote\n\nr = RandomWords()\nw = r.get_random_word()\nprint("Keyword Generated: ",w)\n\nres = quote(w, limit=1)\nfor i in range(len(res)):\n    print("\\nQuote Generated: ",res[i]['quote'])\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
And the result is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nKeyword Generated:  fenman\n\nQuote Generated:  The fenman gazed at Wimsey with a slow pity for his bird-witted feebleness of mind.\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Today we learned generating random keyword and quotes around the keyword using Python programming Language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can try out by generating multiple quotes on multiple keywords as well! Happy coding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
