Connect PoetryDB to any app

PoetryDB is an open database of public-domain English-language poetry, indexed by author, title, line content, and poem length. A caller can list every author in the collection, retrieve all poems by a given author, look up a poem by its title, search for poems containing a phrase in their lines, filter poems by line count, and request random poems. Each poem returns its title, author, full text as an array of lines, and line count. No credentials required.
