We cab use the Open Trivia DB api to get quesitions instead, this would be a much better way and we won't need to add the trivia question manually.

Example: https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=5&category=18&difficulty=medium&type=multiple

I think one of our concerns of Open Trivia DB was that anyone could add questions and that would affect the quality of the questions. I am not sure if there is any moderation that goes into actually adding the questions tho.

I created an account while checking it out yesterday, and submitted a question. The questions get added after a manual review. That being said, I did have a look over the existing questions, and it seemed the moderation on them was quite lax, provided they put in some effort.
