Hi isolderea,

We encourage the entire article to be published on DEV (if you have proper rights), with a linkback if appropriate. From the Terms of Use:

Users must make a good-faith effort to share content that is...not designed primarily for the purposes of promotion or creating backlinks. Additionally, posts must contain substantial content — they may not merely reference an external link that contains the full post.

Posts that are simply intended to encourage readers to view an external resource are discouraged.

Now, we realize this isn't a typical article, but we'd much prefer that you share your quote of the day in full on DEV (like you did previously here - dev.to/isolderea/dev-quote-of-the-...) and perhaps offer a brief synopsis of the API you created with a link to it at the end of the post. This synopsis you wrote up here - dev.to/isolderea/dev-quotes-api-2k05 would work perfect tagged onto the bottom of the post.

As this post stands, it just doesn't offer much context about what you're getting. I think it'd be much more effective with a little more explanation.

Hi you are right and I will keep this in mind.

I was so happy that I finished the API and shared it will all that I simply neglected the share external link part.

Will make sure to do it right next time.

Thank you for the heads up.
