New Affirmations API

We are excited to announce the launch of our brand-new Affirmations API, designed to provide easy access to a vast collection of motivational quotes and phrases. This API offers developers and users alike a powerful tool for integrating positive affirmations into various applications and services.

The Affirmations API provides three main endpoints:

1. /v1/affirmations/categories
2. /v1/affirmations/categories/{category}/random
3. /v1/affirmations/random

These endpoints allow users to retrieve affirmations categorized by theme, find a random affirmation within a specific category, or receive a completely random affirmation from our extensive database.
