Unable to fetch jokes

[Abhisin90]

Inside index.js i have written this code

const jokes = require('give-me-a-joke') console.dir(jokes) jokes.getRandomDadJoke((joke) => { console.log(joke) })

On running it

I am getting this output

Similarly on running

const jokes = require('give-me-a-joke') console.dir(jokes) jokes.getRandomCNJoke((joke) => { console.log(joke) })

my output comes this

Is there any problem from my end or yours. Kindly help. Thanks for the help in advance

Hello @Abhisin90 The issue is not with the npm package but with the site it gets jokes from. You can verify it by having a look at the source code. As of Nov 4 2022, the site is down.

var giveMeAJoke = require("give-me-a-joke");

giveMeAJoke.getRandomDadJoke(function (joke) {
  console.log(joke);
});

The above code will work fine because it gets jokes from some other site

it's just of the website is down not because of the pckage, if you try with Dadjokes it works fine, but with CNjokes it doesn't work

Do you guys want to contribute to make this package better? :-)

Hello @Saurabh3333. To fix getRandomCNJoke may I suggest using this API ? The old API resource is not available anymore. If it's ok, I will submit a pull request

Go ahead.
