Sid Meier's Civilization V - Quotes API

A REST API for quotes from Sid Meier’s Civilization V game.

I initially built this as a project to practice with MongoDB and NodeJS. I hope you will like it!

Please be free to comment or add any new feature. I'd thank you lot if you helped me to complete the database with the Great Works Quotes. Thanks for your time!

Main Technologies implemented

Note: See below for more details for "queries"

Model

Technologies, Wonders, and Great Works share the same next structure.

   // Type of category quote and its name
   category: {
      type: <String>, // values: technology, wonder, great work
      name: <String>, // name of the wonder, technology or great work
   }

   // Expansion pack in which was added
