The 'facts' are normally absurd hyperbolic claims\nabout Norris' toughness, attitude, virility, sophistication, and masculinity.\n\nChuck Norris facts have spread around the world, leading not only to translated versions, but also spawning localized\nversions mentioning country-specific advertisements and other Internet phenomena. Allusions are also sometimes made to\nhis use of roundhouse kicks to perform seemingly any task, his large amount of body hair with specific regard to his\nbeard, and his role in the action television series Walker, Texas Ranger.\n\n## Usage\n\n```shell\n# Retrieve a random chuck joke\n$ curl --request GET \\\n       --url 'https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random' \\\n       --header 'accept: application/json'\n\n# Retrieve a random chuck joke by one or more categories\n$ curl --request GET \\\n       --url 'https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random?category=dev,explicit' \\\n       --header 'accept: application/json'\n\n# Retrieve a random personalized chuck joke\n$ curl --request GET \\\n       --url 'https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random?name=Bob' \\\n       --header 'accept: application/json'\n\n# Retrieve a random personalized chuck joke by one or more categories\n$ curl --request GET \\\n       --url 'https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random?name=Bob\u0026category=dev,explicit' \\\n       --header 'accept: application/json'\n\n# Retrieve a list of available categories\n$ curl --request GET \\\n       --url 'https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/categories' \\\n       --header 'accept: application/json'\n\n# Free text search\n$ curl --request GET \\\n       --url 'https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/search?query={query}' \\\n       --header 'accept: application/json'\n```\n\nExample response:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"categories\": [\"dev\"],\n  \"created_at\": \"2019-06-02 08:47:39.43184\",\n  \"icon_url\": \"https://assets.chucknorris.host/img/avatar/chuck-norris.png\",\n  \"id\": \"bwoz2uwsqnwmyawyxdvo1w\",\n  \"updated_at\": \"2019-06-02 08:47:39.43184\",\n  \"url\": \"https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/bwoz2uwsqnwmyawyxdvo1w\",\n  \"value\": \"Chuck Norris finished World of Warcraft.\"\n}\n```\n\nFor more examples check the [Swagger documentation](https://api.chucknorris.io/documentation) and have a look into the [Postman collection](./postman/io.chucknorris.api.postman_collection.json).\n\n## Local development\n\nAn example of all required application variables can be found in the [application-example.properties](./src/main/resources/application-example.properties).\n\n```sh\n# Start all application dependencies\n$ docker-compose up     # Will run as a long running process\n$ docker-compose up -d  # Will run in background\n\n# Start the application itself\n$ SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=development ./gradlew clean bootRun\n```\n\n**Urls:**\n\n- Application: [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)\n- PostgreSQL: [http://localhost:5432](http://localhost:5432)\n\n## License\n\nThis distribution is covered by the **GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE**, Version 3, 29 June 2007.\n\n## Support \u0026 Contact\n\nHaving trouble with this repository?
