A free REST API serving random jokes in JSON format, with endpoints for random jokes, jokes by type (e.g., programming), jokes by ID, and bulk retrieval. It is hosted on App Engine and can also be self-hosted via Node.js.
Use cases
- get random jokes as json for my app
- fetch programming jokes via an api
- free joke api with no api key
- serve jokes on my website
- get a batch of ten random jokes
- self-host a joke rest api
When to choose
- you need a simple, key-free JSON joke API for demos, side projects, or learning HTTP clients
- you want to self-host a lightweight Node.js joke service
When to avoid
- you need curated, high-quality, or categorized humor content at scale
- you need guaranteed uptime or SLAs, since it is a small community-maintained project
