Do you regularly cite The Art of War from Sun Tzu in your cyber security reports? Have you run out of relevant quotes?

Today we are proudly announcing our API. It provides an endless feed of bogus, auto-generated quotes from this masterpiece.

‘The Art of War’ Quote Generator

The generator is based on Markov-chains, and the corpus is based – of course – on The Art of War. Our algorithm carefully analyses the likeliness of certain words being adjacent to each other, and spawns (potentially) thoughtful sentences based on these probabilities.

To enable developers using this brand new platform, we are providing a REST API for the masses. Get a random quote with this simple GET request from a web browser or your backend application:

Self-hosting

Concerned about security in your enterprise environment? Why not host the application on your own! Feel free to download the source code and give it a spin in your own datacentre.

Early Birds

The first application utilizing this brand new platform is a simple tweetbot. The robot, which was written in Node, queries the API for the latest wisecracks on a regular basis, then posts them on Twitter.
