Get random thing (suggestion)

[vladinator1000]

Hi folks, is it possible to get something like swapi.com/api/vehicles/random?

I'm making this app that gets a random thing by putting a random number in the url. (from 1 to the "count" of entries specified in the description of each endpoint) But sometimes I get a 404 errors.

For instance, there are 37 total vehicles, when I get a number in between, let's say 13, I get a 404 http://swapi.co/api/vehicles/13/

I would love to contribute but I only know Javascript :/

@savovs IDs are not necessarily in order, they're just an identifier :)

I would suggest calling the endpoint to get a list of available resources, paginating through them, and storing the URL for each:

https://swapi.co/api/vehicles

Then your random function can be in your code.

Regarding your ability to contribute: you totally can! This project is intended to teach people, so don't feel that just because you've never written Python you can't help.
