This page has no query field.
A new call adds no context to the previous phrase.
The displayed endpoint is https://api.kanye.rest/.

Before publishing an attribution

A short phrase can test a screen or demonstrate a simple response. If you show it as someone’s words, confirming authorship and context in an independent source is essential. Review it as well for the audience and place where it will appear.

Do not treat a random response as a historical record.
Do not attribute text only because the service applies a label.
In a public product, establish review and moderation before automatic display.
