Why is my local host 3000/quotes/8271 showing all of my records instead of just the one with the id

 app.get('/quotes/:id', async (req, res) => {
  const quote = await records.getQuotes(req.params.id);
  res.json(quote);
});

full code

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

const records = require('./records');

// Send a GET request to /quotes to READ a list of quotes
app.get('/quotes', async (req, res) => {
  const quotes = await records.getQuotes();
  res.json(quotes);
});
// Send a GET request to /quotes/:id to READ(view) a quote
app.get('/quotes/:id', async (req, res) => {
  const quote = await records.getQuotes(req.params.id);
  res.json(quote);
});
// Send a POST request to /quotes to Create a new quote
// Send a PUT request to /quotes/:id to UPDATE (edit) a quote
// Send a DELETE request to /quotes/:id to DELETE a quote
// Send a GET request to /quotes/quote/random to READ (view) a random quote

app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Quote API listening on port 3000!'));

Never mind I figured out the problem. It should be getQuote not getQuotes
