Sign up for a free account at airquote.io/auth, then visit your dashboard to generate an API key. Free accounts include 20 monthly credits.

Each API call to the search or random endpoints costs 1 credit. Enhanced search requests cost additional credits based on the number of quotes and whether context is provided. Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle.

The search endpoint uses semantic vector search to find quotes by meaning. The enhance endpoint adds an AI layer powered by Claude that provides contextual recommendations, relevance explanations, and better results for nuanced queries.

Airquote is a standard REST API. Send requests using curl, fetch, or any HTTP client. Include your API key in the Authorization header. See our API documentation for detailed examples in multiple languages.

Primary means the quote is traced to a published first-hand source. Secondary means it comes from a reliable secondary source like a biography. Attributed means it is commonly attributed but not yet traced to a primary source.
