get_random_item {WikidataR} | R Documentation

## Retrieve randomly-selected Wikidata items or properties

### Description

`get_random_item` and `get_random_property` allow you to retrieve the data associated with randomly-selected Wikidata items and properties, respectively. As with other `WikidataR` code, custom print methods are available; use `str` to manipulate and see the underlying structure of the data.

### Usage

    get_random_item(limit = 1, ...)

    get_random_property(limit = 1, ...)

### Arguments

`limit` | how many random items to return. 1 by default, but can be higher.
`...` | arguments to pass to httr's GET.

### See Also

`get_item` for selecting a specific item or property, or `find_item` for using search functionality to pull out item or property IDs where the descriptions or aliases match a particular search term.

### Examples

    #Random item
    random_item <- get_random_item()

    #Random property
    random_property <- get_random_property()
