Breaking Bad Quotes

Overview

Breaking Bad Quotes serves random quotes from Breaking Bad (and its universe) as JSON — keyless and free. A fun, tiny API for quote widgets, fan pages, and easter eggs.

Note (verified 2026-08): from datacenter/cloud networks the API may return HTTP 429 behind a Vercel security checkpoint (human-verification page) — normal browser traffic generally works fine.

Quick Start

Random quote(s):

curl "https://api.breakingbadquotes.xyz/v1/quotes"

Multiple quotes:

curl "https://api.breakingbadquotes.xyz/v1/quotes/3"

[
  {
    "quote": "I am the one who knocks!",
    "author": "Walter White"
  }
]

Authentication

None — keyless.

Rate Limits & Notes

• Free; no documented hard limit — be polite.
• The API runs on Vercel and may challenge datacenter IPs with a security checkpoint — real browsers and residential IPs are usually unaffected.
• Quotes include the speaking character’s name in author.
• If you hit the checkpoint from CI/server environments, add a small delay and retry, or use a residential proxy.

FAQ

Is Breaking Bad Quotes free? Yes — free and keyless.

Why do I get a 429/checkpoint page? Vercel’s bot protection can challenge datacenter IPs — browsers and residential IPs usually pass.

Can I get more than one quote? Yes — /v1/quotes/3 returns three.
