How this service works
Cryptographically secure random picker for 2-100 JSON choices. Use for low-stakes one-off random or weighted selection, unbiased tie-breaking, and sampling. Returns the selected value and index, request ID, and weight totals for audit logs. $0.001 USDC per paid request. Not for stable assignments, gambling, security tokens, or consequential decisions; outcomes are not provably fair.
Output
Returns the single randomly selected item from the provided list, chosen via cryptographically secure server-side randomness. The selection is uniformly distributed unless optional weights are provided, in which case items are sampled proportionally.
Example use cases
Agent tie-breaking between equal results
“I've narrowed it down to four equally good candidates for the design contract — 'Studio A', 'Studio B', 'Studio C', and 'Studio D' — can you randomly pick one to move forward with?”
Weighted random task assignment
“Assign today's on-call duty randomly among our three engineers, but make it twice as likely to land on Alice since she volunteered — the options are Alice, Bob, and Carol.”
Random sampling for A/B testing
“I have five marketing headlines I want to test: 'Save Big Today', 'Deals You Love', 'Shop Smarter', 'Unbeatable Prices', and 'Your Best Deal Yet' — pick one at random to use as the control group headline.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://random.preflightstack.com/random-choiceWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need verifiably unbiased, cryptographically secure random selection — especially in agentic tie-breaking scenarios where fairness or auditability matters. Prefer this over client-side random() calls when the randomness source must be server-authoritative or when weighted sampling between 2–100 options is needed. Not suited for bulk/batch random draws or generating random numbers outside a choice context.
Side effects
- Fewer than 2 or more than 100 choices provided — request rejected with validation error
- Weights array length does not match choices array — mismatch error returned
- Negative or zero weights provided — invalid input error
- Network timeout or server error — no selection returned, should retry
- Malformed request body — 400 bad request
