Jokes One
Jokes One's REST API serves joke-of-the-day content (knock-knock, blonde, animal jokes and more) plus search, random, and add/delete endpoints for a private joke collection. A limited public tier works without any key — 60 calls/day at 5/hour, crediting jokes.one — while an API key (sent via the X-JokesOne-Api-Secret header) unlocks paid tiers with higher daily call quotas.
