What Can You Build?

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Response is an array, not an object The API always returns a JSON array even for a single quote.
Use response[0].quote to access the first quote text, or loop through the array.
CORS error in browser fetch Browser security blocks cross-origin requests if the server does not set CORS headers.
Run requests from a backend (Node.js/Python) or use a serverless function to proxy the call.
404 Not Found on custom count The count parameter path may differ from expectations.
Check the GitHub repo for the exact URL format; typically /api/quotes/:count where count is a number.
