PowerShell Script (.ps1)
# Scripts Library - TheCategorizer.com
function Get-Joke() {
# Choosing an API (Application Programming Interface) for delivering Jokes
$source = "https://v2.jokeapi.dev/joke/Any?safe-mode"
# Requesting the resource and collecting JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) Response
$request = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $source | ConvertFrom-Json
# Iterating over the data fetched via HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) Request and rendering it on PowerShell-Console/CLI (Command Line Interface)
foreach ($i in $request) {
Write-Host $i.setup
Write-Host $i.delivery
}
}
NOTE: Once the function is created, you can invoke it by its name, “Get-Joke,” and the PowerShell Command Line Interface (CLI) will output a joke fetched over the internet. The created function will be valid for running session only.
