      I followed the readme and inserted into the config as:

      							// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface

      /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
      if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}
      
      

      (less some api/location stuff for other modules)
      I placed the joke api master in the module folder, next to the default one. I honestly have no idea what I could have done wrong. I’ve restarted multiple times.

          @releasefootball said in Joke API doesn't show up at all? No errors:

          MMM-JokeAPI

          Not sure what’s going on there… I tried the url and it’s working… try using double quotes like this:

          category: "any"

              @sdetweil Still don’t think that’s his problem. I think he has a conflict OR he copied the config from the repository and his quotes are not right. You know how that works.
