openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: Tronald Dump Authors Quotes API description: Tronald Dump is an open community REST API exposing a historical archive of Donald Trump quotes with sources, authors, tags, and a search interface. Responses follow HAL (Hypertext Application Language) JSON conventions with `_links` and `_embedded` sections for hypermedia navigation. The API supports random quote retrieval, quote lookup by ID, full text search with pagination, tag browsing, author lookup, and source lookup. No authentication is required. The original public service ran at api.tronalddump.io and has gone offline since 2023; this spec is preserved for community SDKs, archival mirrors, and historical reconstruction. version: 1.0.0 contact: name: Marcel Wijnker (Original Author) url: https://github.com/wickedest license: name: MIT url: https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT x-generated-from: documentation x-last-validated: '2026-05-30' x-api-status: offline-historical servers: - url: https://api.tronalddump.io description: Tronald Dump Production (historical, offline since 2023) tags: - name: Quotes description: Retrieve Donald Trump quotes individually, randomly, or via full text search. paths: /random/quote: get: operationId: getRandomQuote summary: Tronald Dump Get Random Quote description: Returns a single random Donald Trump quote with HAL `_links` and `_embedded` author/source records. tags: - Quotes responses: '200': description: A random quote was returned successfully. content: application/hal+json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Quote' examples: GetRandomQuote200Example: summary: Default getRandomQuote 200 response x-microcks-default: true value: appeared_at: '2016-09-26T00:00:00.000Z' created_at: '2017-02-15T16:13:32.456Z' quote_id: GYDdK40iSrSiyVAm2J_TKQ tags: - Mexico - Wall updated_at: '2017-02-15T16:13:32.456Z' value: When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. _links: self: href: /quote/GYDdK40iSrSiyVAm2J_TKQ _embedded: author: - author_id: 86xX9JdJSlqIo86xJoiqAA name: Donald Trump slug: donald-trump bio: 45th and 47th President of the United States. source: - source_id: 2u3o8DcvSluqZ27WtmlGCw url: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/780494805192454144 filename: 780494805192454144.txt created_at: '2017-02-15T16:13:32.456Z' updated_at: '2017-02-15T16:13:32.456Z' '404': description: No quote available. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Error' examples: GetRandomQuote404Example: summary: Default getRandomQuote 404 response x-microcks-default: true value: status: 404 message: No quote found '500': description: Internal server error. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Error' examples: GetRandomQuote500Example: summary: Default getRandomQuote 500 response x-microcks-default: true value: status: 500 message: Internal server error x-microcks-operation: delay: 0 dispatcher: FALLBACK /quote/{quote_id}: get: operationId: getQuoteById summary: Tronald Dump Get Quote by ID description: Returns a specific Donald Trump quote by its unique identifier, with HAL `_links` and `_embedded` author/source records. tags: - Quotes parameters: - name: quote_id in: path description: The unique identifier of the quote. required: true schema: type: string example: GYDdK40iSrSiyVAm2J_TKQ responses: '200': description: The quote was found and returned. content: application/hal+json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Quote' examples: GetQuoteById200Example: summary: Default getQuoteById 200 response x-microcks-default: true value: appeared_at: '2016-09-26T00:00:00.000Z' created_at: '2017-02-15T16:13:32.456Z' quote_id: GYDdK40iSrSiyVAm2J_TKQ tags: - Mexico - Wall updated_at: '2017-02-15T16:13:32.456Z' value: I will build a great wall. _links: self: href: /quote/GYDdK40iSrSiyVAm2J_TKQ '404': description: Quote not found. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Error' examples: GetQuoteById404Example: summary: Default getQuoteById 404 response x-microcks-default: true value: status: 404 message: Quote not found '500': description: Internal server error. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Error' examples: GetQuoteById500Example: summary: Default getQuoteById 500 response x-microcks-default: true value: status: 500 message: Internal server error x-microcks-operation: delay: 0 dispatcher: FALLBACK /search/quote: get: operationId: searchQuotes summary: Tronald Dump Search Quotes description: Full text search across the corpus of Donald Trump quotes.
