API's!!??

I want to create an app of quotes using the API: "They Said So" and I was wondering if that is possible to use on iOS development(swift) and another question: "Can I use any API that uses JSON data in an app?"

Thanks! :D

Yes this is pretty easy to set up and implement. All you have to do is make an http request using nsurl... or you could install the afnetworking cocoapod (I like afnetworking better) then from the JSON response you can pull the quote and display in your app.
You could also create your own database of quotes using parse.com/firebase.com/etc....

How do I log my quotes to the database? I used Parse and already included it to my project? Thanks
