README

Random Pun retrieves a random pun and its topic category on every request. Each call supplies the full pun text, with paid plans adding an additional humor rating score.

The Random Pun API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate random pun functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready random pun capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.

{
  "status": "ok",

  "data": {
    "category": "Family, Parents",
    "rating": 2,
    "pun": "There was this guy who decided he wanted to live with his gay friends in a nudest colony and so he up and quit his job, and moved. He was really happy until he got a letter from his grandma. She told him he was about to die and wanted a picture of him. He got his friend to take a picture of him, and sice he had no clothes, he cut the picture in half. A few weeks later he received another letter from his grandma telling him he needed to get a haircut because it made his nose look long.... he soon realized he had sent her the wrong half."
