Overview

Package chucknorris is the library behind the chucknorris command line: the HTTP client, request shaping, and the typed data models for the Chuck Norris joke API at api.chucknorris.io.

The API is completely open — no authentication or API key required. The Client sets a polite User-Agent, paces requests, and retries transient 429 and 5xx failures with exponential backoff.
