🧮 Quantum Random Number Generator

1. Automate Community
2. Tools

This flow queries a website that will generate a truly random number, extracted in real-time from the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum. The value is either an integer 0-65535 or a hexadecimal value 00-ff, and you can get up to 1,024 values at a time. If you want a hex value, you also have the option to select how many blocks make up each value (each block is 00-ff), again up to 1,024. The retrieved values are logged; they can be copied from the log if desired.

Note that the options available through the QRNG can return quite a bit of data. You won't have any trouble with getting 1,024 integer values; however with high numbers of large block size hex values you will run into some problems. The dialog box that displays the results will error out if you feed it too much data, and the flow log will record only part of the data requested.

Also note that QRNG API is limited to one response per minute, so pace yourself.
