The original crackmeup has transmogrified into the CrackMeUp Twitter Bot and the CrackMeUp Joke API! Say hi to the bot on twitter @crackmeupbot and find the API at crackmeup-api.herokuapp.com.
crackmeup is a Python based web-crawler of sorts, that scrapes data off popular joke websites and shows you a random joke everytime you run it
To run in dev setup, you need Python 2.7 installed and the BeautifulSoup package.
- Get Python here
- Installing BeautifulSoup:
- Go to the directory where Python is installed.
- Enter the Scripts folder
- Open up the terminal in Linux/cmd in Windows pointing to this location
- Windows:
pip install beautifulsoup4, Linux:sudo pip install beautifulsoup4(if pip is not installed, then runsudo apt-get install python-pip)
Enter the crackmeup folder and in terminal, run python crackmeup.py.
Enjoy your random joke!
