I want create calendar planner from 1/1/2019 to 31/2/2019:
In Main.tex: I use \pgfcalendar{cal}{2019-01-01}{2019-02-31} to create pdf.
One page = one day
Now i want add each different quote to each day.
How write code in quote.tex and connect in Main.tex.
Thanks
\pgfcalendar{cal}{2019-01-01}{2019-02-31}
{%
\LARGE\bfseries
\pgfcalendarweekdayname{\pgfcalendarcurrentweekday},
\pgfcalendarcurrentday{}.

I'd suggest setting up a daily quote in Excel with all the bells and whistles of formulas to extract the weekday, day, month and year from a date. I pulled some random quotes from the Internets to compile with each of the first 100 days...

I formulate a POST to an API called Diffbot and it returns exactly what I want; a bunch of parsed articles. (Here's how the API is interacted with.)
I do this with the following code (with the exception of me removing my token):
[AFDiffbotClient sharedClient].operationQueue.maxConcurrentOperationCount = NSOperationQueueDefaultMaxConcurrentOperationCount;
NSMutableArray *individualRequests = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (NSDictionary *URLAndID in URLsAndIDs) {
NSString *articleURL = [URLAndID objectForKey:#"URL"];
NSString *requestURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/api/article?token=...&fields=text,title,url&fields=text,title,url&url=%#", articleURL];
[individualRequests addObject:#{#"method": #"GET",
#"relative_url": requestURL}];
}
NSError *error;
NSData *individualRequestsJSONData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:individualRequests options:kNilOptions error:&error];
NSString *individualRequestsJSONString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:individualRequestsJSONData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"token": #"...",
#"batch": individualRequestsJSONString};
[[AFDiffbotClient sharedClient] setParameterEncoding:AFFormURLParameterEncoding];
[[AFDiffbotClient sharedClient] postPath:#"http://diffbot.com/api/batch" parameters:parameters success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"WIN");
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"%#", error);
}];

The conference rooms all had large tables, whether heavy varnished oak or cheap plywood. The chairs were the sort that let you lean back with increasing tension, and they had a few levers underneath the seat that raise and lower the seat and adjust the back. I\\u2019m a fidgeter, so I played with them a lot during meetings.\\nWe were mostly white, and all men. Each of us had between three and six \\u201Cdirect reports\\u201D: nonmanager programmers who we oversaw. We were the direct reports of our manager. There were lots and lots of managers at Microsoft\\u2014it was the only path to advancement, so the company structure became more and more steeply vertical. Once or twice a year, we would all get together and decide how good each of our reports was, by ordering them from best to worst.\\nThe system was called the stack rank.\\nFollowing Friday\\u2019s news of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer\\u2019s imminent retirement, postmortems of his lackluster 13-year reign have pointed to stack ranking \\u2014which, to be entirely fair, predated him\\u2014as both a cause and a symptom of the corporation\\u2019s decline. As a software developer and later development lead at Microsoft between 1998\\u20132003, I had to evaluate others and be evaluated myself under this system. And I can say that yes, stack ranking is as toxic for innovation and integrity and morale as media reports made it out to be , and then some.\\nEach report\\u2019s name was written on an index card and put on the table. It was a two-step process. First, reports were broadly sorted into four buckets: excellent, good, mediocre, and awful. Then, within each bucket, people were paired for comparison and bubbled up or down. Managers would argue whether a particular report was better or worse than some other manager\\u2019s report in the same bucket. Our manager would adjudicate the debates. Some managers were better fighters than others.\\nA manager\\u2019s goals here are twofold. First, you want to place your best people as high as possible on the ladder. This will help them get big bonuses, promotions, and raises, and thus keep them happy and less likely to leave your group or the company. Second, if you\\u2019re unfortunate enough to have weak reports, you want either to help them by placing them sufficiently high that they don\\u2019t get dinged too badly come the annual review, or to throw them to the wolves and let them get ranked low. If you give up on them, they\\u2019ll be put on a dead-end track that marks them as more or less useless. The object is to get them out from under you and make them someone else\\u2019s problem.\\nI was lucky not to have any weak reports. I had been encouraged to take one at an earlier point, but frenetically talked my way out of it, using all the managerese I could summon to argue that he didn\\u2019t belong on my team.\\nMy reports seemingly did fine. I got them all into the top two buckets. After the stack rank was over, our boss, who\\u2019d overseen the whole meeting, took our stack rank and then went to another, similar meeting one level up, where now we would be stacked and ranked behind our backs, then mixed in with the stack we\\u2019d just created, cruelly shuffled like a deck of human cards.\\nEventually, the vice presidents would have to bargain among themselves for how many bonuses and raises they would get for their entire organizations, then ration them out according to the stack rank. People would then be assigned one of three grades: 4.0 (Above Average), 3.5 (Average), and 3.0 (Below Average). The very rare 4.5 got you a set of steak knives ; a 2.5 meant you were fired (more or less). I\\u2019m not sure if Alan Turing himself could have gotten a 5.0.\\nThe stack rank was harmful. It served as an incentive not to join high-quality groups, because you\\u2019d be that much more likely to fall low in the stack rank. Better to join a weak group where you\\u2019d be the star, and then coast. Maybe the executives thought this would help strong people lift up weak teams. It never worked that way. More often, it just encouraged people to backstab their co-workers, since their loss entailed your profit.\\nThe stack rank was a zero-sum game\\u2014one person could only excel by the amount that others were penalized. And it was applied at every level of the organization. Even if you were in a group of three high performers, it was very likely that one of you would be graded Above Average, one Average, and one Below Average. Unless your manager was a prick or an idiot or both, the ordering would reflect your relative skills, but that never came as too much comfort to the hard-working schlub who just wasn\\u2019t as good as the other two.\\nThis was my problem. I had three reports, A, B, and C, and they neatly fit into three categories: C was good, B was great, and A was fantastic. They were all nice and retiring sorts\\u2014they weren\\u2019t self-promoters, which put them at a disadvantage at Microsoft\\u2014and I did want to do well by them. Based on their position in the stack rank, I thought that this would have been a fair assessment of them relative to the company in general:\\nMy Ideal Distribution\\nA: Above Average\\nB: Above Average\\nC: Average\\nAbove Average would get A and B nice bonuses and raises, while C might get a small raise and a decent bonus with an Average. That didn\\u2019t happen. My manager told me baldly that this was how it would go:\\nThe Actual Distribution\\nA: Above average\\nB: Average\\nC: Below average\\nMy desired rankings were out of the question, since my manager would then have had to steal that extra Above Average from some other manager. I thought that B could live with Average (we were all well-compensated, after all), but rating C as Below Average hurt.\\nSo I argued for C, and my manager said there was exactly one alternative:\\nThe Alternative Distribution\\nA: Average\\nB: Average\\nC: Average\\nBut A had been at the very top of the stack! How could A do worse than people we\\u2019d all agreed were weaker programmers? I gave up and let C take the Below Average. This is the zero-sum game at work.\\nI still feel bad about this.\\nThen I had to explain things to my reports. This illustrated another problem with the system: It destroyed trust between individual contributors and management, because the stack rank required that all lower-level managers systematically lie to their reports. Why? Because for years Microsoft did not admit the existence of the stack rank to nonmanagers . Knowledge of the process gradually leaked out, becoming a recurrent complaint on the much-loathed (by Microsoft) Mini-Microsoft blog , where a high-up Microsoft manager bitterly complained about organizational dysfunction and was joined in by a chorus of hundreds of employees. The stack rank finally made it into a Vanity Fair article in 2012, but for many years it was not common knowledge, inside or outside Microsoft. It was presented to the individual contributors as a system of objective assessment of \\u201Ccore competencies,\\u201D with each person being judged in isolation.\\nWhen review time came, and programmers would fill out a short self-assessment talking about their achievements, strengths, and weaknesses, only some of them knew that their ratings had been more or less already foreordained at the stack rank. The ones who knew could sometimes be recognized by their flip comments on their performance reviews, like the hot-tempered guy who wrote every year in \\u201CAreas to Improve,\\u201D \\u201CI will try to be less of an asshole.\\u201D\\nThey were exceptions, though. If you did know about the stack rank, you weren\\u2019t supposed to admit it. So you went through the pageantry of the performance review anyway, arguing with your manager in the rhetoric of \\u201Ccore competencies.\\u201D The managers would respond in kind. Since the managers had little control over the actual score and attendant bonus and raise (if any), their job was to write a review to justify the stack rank in the language of absolute merit. (\\u201CHigher visibility\\u201D was always a good catch-all: Sure, you may be a great coder and work 80 hours a week, but not enough people have heard of you!)\\nStrangely, this charade would sometimes happen even between managers and their managers, both pretending that they didn\\u2019t know about the stack rank that they had recently participated in. This kind of bad faith is more common than you might think. I saw it most vividly in a certain number of party-liners who seemed wholly oblivious to the dissonance between the performance review and the stack rank, as though the two would always magically line up, even though they never did.\\nThis sort of organizational dissembling skews your psyche. After I left Microsoft, I was left with lingering paranoia for months, always wondering about the agendas of those around me, skeptical that what I was being told was the real story. I didn\\u2019t realize until the nonstacked performance review time at my new job that I\\u2019d become so wary. At the time\\u2014inside Microsoft\\u2014it just seemed the only logical way to be.\",\"date_created\":\"Mon, 20 Jan 2014 18:02:03 PST\",\"categories\":{\"entertainment_culture\":0.014285714285714284,\"hospitality_recreation\":0.03428571428571428,\"other\":0.0,\"business_finance\":0.5157142857142857,\"technology_internet\":0.05999695366444171,\"socialissues\":0.022857142857142854,\"sports\":0.04052786085981821,\"humaninterest\":0.03714285714285714,\"religion_belief\":0.039999999999999994,\"war_conflict\":0.022259647554023695,\"education\":0.011428571428571427,\"health_medical_pharma\":0.031428571428571424,\"labor\":0.028571428571428567,\"law_crime\":0.023333333333333327,\"politics\":0.01714285714285714,\"environment\":0.039596490302668735,\"weather\":0.00857142857142857,\"disaster_accident\":0.052857142857142846},\"supertags\":[{\"id\":501672,\"positions\":[[92,100],[155,162],[647,654],[684,692],[1795,1803],[1921,1928],[1964,1972]],\"scope\":\"baseball\",\"name\":\"Manager (baseball)\",\"score\":0.7,\"contentMatch\":0.47236180904522607,\"categories\":{\"22299804\":\"Baseball strategy\",\"17908961\":\"Sports coaches\",\"846062\":\"Baseball managers\",\"2280640\":\"Baseball coaches\",\"9697509\":\"Baseball occupations\"},\"type\":1,\"senseRank\":1,\"variety\":0.7574257425742574,\"depth\":0.6470588235294117},{\"id\":337689,\"positions\":[[1950,1957]],\"name\":\"Debate\",\"score\":0.6,\"contentMatch\":0.8994974874371859,\"categories\":{\"698270\":\"Debating\"},\"type\":1,\"senseRank\":1,\"variety\":0.5891089108910892,\"depth\":0.6470588235294117},{\"id\":4692150,\"positions\":[[632,639],[887,894],[1479,1486],[1626,1633],[1837,1843],[1890,1896],[2308,2315],[2717,2724],[2909,2916]],\"name\":\"Report\",\"score\":0.6,\"contentMatch\":0.7135678391959799,\"categories\":{\"1222842\":\"Technical communication\",\"694072\":\"Documents\"},\"type\":1,\"senseRank\":1,\"variety\":0.7623762376237624,\"depth\":0.7058823529411764},{\"id\":30873450,\"positions\":[[12,19]],\"name\":\"Deposit account\",\"score\":0.6,\"contentMatch\":0.7135678391959799,\"categories\":{\"38182585\":\"Banking terms\"},\"type\":1,\"senseRank\":2,\"variety\":0.8415841584158416,\"depth\":0.6470588235294117}],\"type\":\"article\",\"cid\":1350985132,\"url\":\"http:\\/\\/mobile.slate.com\\/articles\\/business\\/moneybox\\/2013\\/08\\/microsoft_ceo_steve_ballmer_retires_a_firsthand_account_of_the_company_s.single.html?original_referrer=http:\\/\\/t.co\\/yOO5N2OQxZ\"}\n","method":"GET","code":200,"relative_url":"/api/article?token=...&fields=text,title,url&fields=text,title,url&url=http://mobile.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2013/08/microsoft_ceo_steve_ballmer_retires_a_firsthand_account_of_the_company_s.single.html?original_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FyOO5N2OQxZ&utm_campaign=Buffer&utm_content=buffer47791&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=buffer"}

Which as you can see at the top indicates it returned an error. Yet... a little further down it returns what the API should: a bunch of JSON objects. It even records it on my Diffbot account as successful API calls.
And I know it indicates it wants JSON to be passed, but if I change AFFormURLParameterEncoding to AFJSONParameterEncoding I just get this:
Error Domain=AFNetworkingErrorDomain Code=-1011 "Expected status code in (200-299), got 401" UserInfo=0xc3f91e0 {NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion={"error":"Not authorized API token.","errorCode":401}, AFNetworkingOperationFailingURLRequestErrorKey=<NSMutableURLRequest: 0xc2d2bf0> { URL: http://diffbot.com/api/batch }, NSErrorFailingURLKey=http://diffbot.com/api/batch, NSLocalizedDescription=Expected status code in (200-299), got 401, AFNetworkingOperationFailingURLResponseErrorKey=<NSHTTPURLResponse: 0xc0b2e10> { URL: http://diffbot.com/api/batch } { status code: 401, headers {

Is this an AFNetworking bug (unlikely, but I am using AFNetworking 1.0 still), or something I'm doing foolishly (more likely)?
Looks like you are not alone with this issue. The first error you included seems to be sending more than one server response, hence appearing as "text/html".
You can try the following "hackish" solution and add "text/html" to your acceptable types. See if this helps:

Your second error is a 401 error, with is '401 Unauthorized' which means there is a credentials error.
