Opengrep Emerges as Open Source Alternative Amid Semgrep Licensing Controversy
Opengrep forks Semgrep to preserve open source SAST in response to controversial licensing changes.

A nerdy API for categorized jokes, heavily focused on science puns!
I was looking around for jokes APIs, but couldn't find any that had science jokes that I could request for specifically. As I had just started learning golang, I decided to waste an entire day making a crappy, useless API that has ugly code and probably has tons of extra garbage - but it works!
To use it, just clone the repository and run either go run main.go
for a quick test or go build main.go
and ./main
for use in production. By default, it runs on port 3587 (as I use a reverse proxy for that port to be accesed by a certain domain) but this can be modified in the main.go
file.
You can take a look at the endpoints in the main.go
file, but here are the main ones: /jokes/random
, /jokes/random/{subject}
, /jokes/{subject}
and /jokes
. These only work with GET requests.
You can send a POST request to the /addJoke
endpoint with only the fields that have content (take a look at jokes.json
for the format). For example, you can have
{
apikey: 'specified on start',
subject: 'subject',
setup: 'funny joke',
punchline: 'lol lol'
}
instead of specifying each field if it isn't used. Postman is easy to use for this but cURL also works.
Note: the API Key is specified on the launching of the program. For example
./main [API Key here]
.
