How this service works
Draw a random sample from a provided array — without replacement by default (a fair shuffle), or with replacement when unique is false. count defaults to 1.
Output
Returns an array of sampled items drawn from the provided pool. By default draws without replacement (unique=true), ensuring no duplicates. The count parameter controls how many items are returned (default 1, max 10000).
Example use cases
Lottery winner selection
“I have 50 contest entries in this list — can you randomly draw 3 winners without repeating anyone? Here's the list: [entry1, entry2, ... entry50].”
Random team assignment
“Split these 12 people into 3 groups of 4 by randomly sampling their names without replacement from this list: [Alice, Bob, Carol, Dave, Eve, Frank, Grace, Hank, Iris, Jack, Karen, Leo].”
Random quiz question picker
“I have a bank of 100 quiz questions in this array — please randomly pick 10 of them without repeating any, so I can build tonight's quiz.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://random.openverbs.com/v1/sampleWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to randomly select one or more items from an existing collection — especially when fairness (no-replacement) matters. Prefer it over random integer endpoints when your input is already a list of objects, strings, or mixed values. Ideal for lotteries, quiz shuffles, team assignments, card deals, or any scenario where you need a subset of a pool without writing sampling logic yourself.
Side effects
- count exceeds pool size when sampling without replacement — returns an error
- items array is empty or missing — validation error
- count is 0 or negative — schema validation failure
- count or items array exceeds 10000 limit — rejected with max-size error
- malformed JSON body — HTTP 400
