I would go with a different quote service, or just hard code some quotes into your app. This isn’t the best project to use AJAX for.

I used this API and had no issues whatsoever, however I just went to check my project to give you advice and now mine isn’t working either! I can’t look into it right now but I imagine they’re having issues.
