Learn about vigilant mode.

The most notable changes are:

  • JokeAPI now has its own domain jokeapi.dev
    • The API should be called at the new base URL https://v2.jokeapi.dev/
    • Using just jokeapi.dev (without the "v2") is not recommended. Only use it to read and link to the documentation.
    • The old URL (https://sv443.net/jokeapi/v2) will still work until version 3.0 is released.
  • There is now a safe mode. It allows blocking out all potentially explicit jokes for sensitive applications like Discord Bots.
    • It is enabled by adding the value-less URL parameter ?safe-mode
  • Added the new flag explicit to every joke. It indicates a joke that contains explicit language (swear words).
  • Added a new URL parameter ?dry-run to enable testing a joke submission without actually submitting it to the API.
  • Increased rate limiting budgets to 120 when using GET and 5 when using POST/PUT.
  • Made a lot of changes to how the documentation works and is structured.
  • Changelog is now in markdown format.
  • Added two more wrapper libraries for Node.js/TS and for Golang.
  • JokeAPI now has category aliases. These are alternative names to the normal joke categories. More info here.
