Random Quotes from The Way

Uses the Escriva.org API available online.

One way to get a random quote converted to a JSON string is as follows.

curl -s -X GET "https://escriva.org/api/v1/points/random/?book_type=camino&book_type=surco&book_type=forja&site_id=1" \
 -H 'accept: application/json' 

I created a file webquotes.sh to be placed in $HOME directory and be pulled by your RC file (in my case I'm using .zshrc). It is then read via a line in the .zhrc as follows

source ~/webquotes.sh

Requires internet connection to escriva.org to work.

Installation

1. Copy the file webquotes.sh into your $HOME directory. From the this directory you can use cp webquotes.sh ~/.
2. Add the following line into the last line of your ~/.zhprofile. Since I'm using zsh, I have ~/.zshprofile. If you are using bash, you should have ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile.
3. You may need to restart your terminal.
