Chatbot-API-Integration

In this project, I created a chatbot that you can run from your IDE. It connects to the Kiwi IRC Client with Pircbot, and allows access to two API's: OpenWeather and OfficialJokes.

API’s Used

1. OpenWeather
   • Input -> City and ZIP Code
   • Output -> Current Temperature, High, and Low (in Fahrenheit)
2. OfficialJokes
   • https://github.com/15Dkatz/official_joke_api
   • Input -> N/A
   • Ouput -> Joke Setup & Punchline
