Random 404 responses from airtable api

[Assaf_Barnir]

I built a small table and am accessing it via Airtable API.
Any tip as to how I can randomize the results I’m getting?
Meaning: for each API call, get the value of a different row.

Cheers

Welcome to the Airtable community!

The REST API is not designed to return random records. You can get the specific record you request, you can get records in a specific sort order, or you can get records in default order.

If you want a random record, you will need a method of adding that randomness in your code. For example, you could do an initial query of only the record IDs for all the records in the table, pick a random record ID, and then request that specific record. If your table has many records, this may be very cumbersome.
