I pushed a new flatpak to Flathub last night that I hope fixes the JSON-Parse problem. Please give it a try.

Internet is always moving and these data sourcer/aggregator always update along with it as they add/modify/remove what they offer... no one offers entire universe out there for free although yahoo json has been a good source.

Take a look at https://github.com/ka-patel/dl_quotes which might be a starting point (fyi: this is not sanctioned by F::Q or GNC; strictly my own personal project in spare time)
