RandomOrg

Access true random numbers through the random.org API!

See https://random.org/ for the specifics of the random.org services and their API.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     randomorg:
       github: your-github-user/randomorg
   

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "randomorg"

Before you can get your random numbers, you will need an API key. You can request one from here: https://api.random.org/api-keys/beta

Then you need to configure the module with this key in order to use the service:

RandomOrg.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
end

After which you can use it in pretty much the same way as you would the SecureRandom library:

> RandomOrg.random_number(100)
=> 78
> RandomOrg.base64
=> "r1nwqJksqKacn26UBI1GkQ=="

Development

Nothing special to think about.
