Prerequisites :
Python requests module helps us make Http requests to specified URL. In this article we will make a json request to this url: https://icanhazdadjoke.com/ and develop a project wherein the user enters any word and the output would be a joke related to that word.
We will be using API (library request) to search jokes using a keyword entered by the user if we get multiple results on the keyword entered then one of those jokes will be displayed randomly.
Modules Used
- requests module allows us to sent the Https requests using python
- pyfiglet module converts the ASCII texts to ASCII art fonts
- termcolor module helps us format color in the output terminal
- random module generates random numbers numbers in Python
Approach
- Import module
- Add header, to specify in for, is data to be stored, by default it is html text(Here, we are getting data in JSON format)
- Ask user for input
- Pass input as searching element to retrieve data from URL
- Print retrieved data.
Program:
Python3
import requests import pyfiglet import termcolor from random import choice header = pyfiglet.figlet_format("Find a joke!") header = termcolor.colored(header, color="white") print(header) term = input("Let me tell you a joke! Give me a topic: ") headers={"Accept": "application/json"}, params={"term": term}).json() results = response_json["results"] total_jokes = response_json["total_jokes"] print(total_jokes) if total_jokes > 1: print(f"I've got {total_jokes} jokes about {term}. Here's one:\n", choice( results)['joke']) elif total_jokes == 1: print(f"I've got one joke about {term}. Here it is:\n", results[0]['joke']) else: print(f"Sorry, I don't have any jokes about {term}! Please try again.") |
Output
The keyword passes was banana, one of the joke related to is displayed
