Hi, it lacks the single quote ' ' around the url, in the code to copy/past. Anyway, good call to this api ! For a bit more excitement, I propose to close the child block, here is my suggestion:

<%JA: ```javascript

let currentBlockUID = roam42.common.currentActiveBlockUID();
let joke = await fetch('https://official-joke-api.appspot.com/random_joke').then(res=>res.json());

roam42.common.createBlock(currentBlockUID, -1, joke.punchline + " 😆");
roam42.common.updateBlock(currentBlockUID, document.activeElement.value, false);
return joke.setup + " 🤔";``` %>
