Chuck Norries Joke Database

ICNDB is a fun database full of Chuck Norris jokes. If you’re a fan, it’ll be a while before you run out of Chuck Norris jokes again.

According to ICNDB, The phrase ‘break a leg’ was originally coined by Chuck Norris’s co-stars in Walker, Texas Ranger as a good luck charm, indicating that a broken leg might be the worst extent of their injuries. This never proved to be the case.

Here is a simply code that uses requests and json libraries:

Below code will fetch a single random joke:

import requests
import json

def chuck():

    f = r"http://api.icndb.com/jokes/random"
    data = requests.get(f)
    tt = json.loads(data.text)
    
    print(tt["value"]["joke"])

chuck()

Below code will fetch 5 random jokes:

import requests
import json

def chuck():

    f = r"http://api.icndb.com/jokes/random/5"
    data = requests.get(f)
    tt = json.loads(data.text)
    
    print(tt["value"]["joke"])

chuck()
