Run this Command in your terminal/command line:
pip install requests,flaskI named my file main.py and wrote a single page flask app.
from flask import Flask,render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
quote = api()
return render_template("index.html",quote=quote)I Used Template rendering by doing so we can pass data to our html page.
it should look like yourProjectFile/templates/filename.html
visit this site for Api key and code for implymenting that.
https://rapidapi.com/martin.svoboda/api/quotes15
After getting your code with Api-Key paste it in a python file to use it as module or use directly in main Flask App. In My case I Made a seprate file Named api.py to test it. Later i caged it in a function
And Make these Changes
- Conver the data to a json
data = response.json()- Impliment a work limit *optional
- Return the quote only
return data["content"]Your Code now should look like(i Implemented a word limit as there afre some big quotes)
def api():
limit = False
while not limit:
import requests
url = "https://quotes15.p.rapidapi.com/quotes/random/"
querystring = {"language_code":"en"}
headers = {
'x-rapidapi-host': "quotes15.p.rapidapi.com",
'x-rapidapi-key': "Your-Api-Key-Here"
}
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, params=querystring)
data = response.json()
if len(data["content"])<=250:
limit = True
return data["content"]You can either use it directly in your main file or save it as a seprate file and add it to main file by writing this code in start of main.py file
from api import api<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Quote</title>
</head>
<body>
{{quote}} <!--The Quote is a variable send by flask app-->
</body>
</html>I have made a page with custome style and design with features like:
- Auto refresh in 15 second
- A copy and Refresh button
- A 15 second timmer
