This page exists as a landing page to support the Qotz WordPress plugin. You may find additional information on our blog by searching the qotz 
tag.
Note that the updated plugin for QOTZ is forthcoming.
Qotz.net 
was built for the single purpose of making a very simple API available to access our growing database of well over 100,000 quotes. As with many of our basic projects, it was built to make better utilisation of a vacant domain name. The database is updated manually and via automated means on a daily basis - so it's always growing.
The result of this function will render something like this on your website:
""It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs." — Miguel de Unamuno"
Because we're retrieving two individual attributes (text and author) from the XML, it's easy to style the quote in a manner that's most fitting.
Shortcode Attributes
cache
We cache the quote for one hour by default (3600 seconds). To cache the result for 30 minutes use
cache="1800".
sep
By default we'll use two hyphens between the quote text and the attribution. To alter, use something like
sep="::".
tags
If you choose to alter the basic style applied to the attribution text, use
tags="em"(in this case outputting the attribution in italics without the < or >) Each tag must be separated by a comma.
p
To wrap the quote in paragraph tags, use
p="1"(false by default).
Usage
Insert the shortcode of [qotz] wherever it is you want your quote to be rendered. The first basic example simply outputs a default quote (in paragraph tags). We've used [qotz p="1"].
In the second example we'll use bold and itallic tags for the attribution (in paragraph). Usage is as follows: [qotz p="1" tags="strong,em"].
"It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs." — Miguel de Unamuno
In the final example we'll use bold tags for the attribution (in paragraph), and use a single long dash as the seperator between the text and attribution. Usage is as follows: [qotz p="1" tags="strong" sep="—"].
"It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs." — Miguel de Unamuno
In second and third examples above the quote is wrapped in <blockquote> tags.
