It’s good too. If you want learn about API I suggest this link [https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud245](https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud245) and this [https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud110](https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud110)  
Here you can found my Random Quotes Machine that use `$.getJSON`.

I searched on Google for free quotes API and I found that url. When you use`$.getJSON` you ask to server to get a JSON, in our case you have a JSON with quotes and authors.
