Humor
Humor API gives API-key access to over 50,000 jokes across 27 categories and 450,000+ memes and gifs, plus generators for insults, praises, and nonsense words with a machine-rated funniness score. The free plan grants 10 points/day before calls stop; paid tiers (Jack, Jester, Joker) raise the daily point allowance and requests-per-second limit.
