Random sound?

[Elliot Cole]

Hello!

What's the best way to query the API for random sounds?

Thanks,

Elliot

Hi again,

Best way to get a random sound is to:

1) make an empty query

2) get the total number of results (count)

3) generate a random page number (number between 1 and count/page_size)

4) query that page

5) get a random sound from that page

We’ll consider adding a random sort option which would facilitate that, but for now it is not possible.

Cheers,

frederic

+1 for a way to get a random sound directly! It would cut the requests made for that purpose in half
