Fetch N random trivia questions matching filters. Quality-first: by default excludes questions flagged for review (use quality='all' to include for audit/research). USE WHEN: building a quiz, sampling content for warmup, generating practice sets. NOT WHEN: you need a specific question ID (use quizbase_question_by_id) or want to explore a topic deeply with facets (use quizbase_topic_by_slug). KEY FILTERS: - amount: 1-50, default 10. - lang: ISO 639-1. Default "en". Supported: en, pl. Strict — unknown language returns 400. - category (slug): e.g. geography, history, science-and-nature. Full list via quizbase_categories. - difficulty: trivial | easy | medium | hard | expert. LLM-calibrated. Records not yet LLM-rated hold the importer placeholder (mostly "medium" for factoid sources). - type: multiple | boolean (default both; no text_input in random). - regions (cultural affinity, AND): empty in data = no cultural advantage assumed. Lowercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 ('us', 'pl', 'gb') + cultural codes ('jewish', 'christian-catholic', 'islam'). Filter for content statistically more likely known by residents/members. Discover via quizbase_regions. - source (array): include only these source databases (one or more of 12: opentdb, opentriviaqa, kqa-pro, entityq, mintaka, mkqa, nq-open, creak, qasc, arc, webq, quizbase). - exclude_source (array): drop these sources, e.g. ["entityq"] for human-curated only. Applied after source. - license (SPDX): CC-BY-SA-4.0 | CC-BY-SA-3.0 | MIT | etc. Restrict to redistribution-friendly content. - topic (curated slug): higher precision than tags. Alias resolver matches subcategories+tags. List via quizbase_topics. - topics_any: OR over curated topics, max 10. - tags (AND), tags_any (OR), subcategory: raw taxonomy. Use topic if available. - quality: 'high' (default, recommended) = cleanest, most broadly-useful. 'standard' = broader pool incl. niche/too-specific (more volume). 'all' = audit/research, includes flagged — when 'all', each question gains a "quality" field ('high' or 'needs_review'). - exclude (UUIDs, max 250): de-dupe within a quiz session. OUTPUT: { questions: [...], meta: { count, language } }. Each question carries full per-record attribution (source, author, license, licenseVersion, licenseUrl, sourceId, url, modifications, lastModified) — identical shape to REST /api/v1/questions/random. ATTRIBUTION REQUIRED if you redistribute. CC-BY-SA modifications must be credited per § 3(a)(1)(B) using each question's own attribution object. COMMON MISTAKES: forcing lang='pl' for a global audience (use 'en' default); skipping quality (default already excludes flagged content — only pass quality='all' for audit); using tags when a curated topic exists (worse precision).
