A https://random.org client library. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which

for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer

programs.

## Status

Everything is implemented. Note, that the [`random.org`](https://random.org) service

API is at beta stage of development, however the library will try to be up-to-date.

## The documentation

The [documentation](https://docs.rs/randomorg) which may help you using this library.

## Implementation

- Immutable interface, no need to synchronize,

thread-safe ([`Sync`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Sync.html) and

[`Send`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Send.html)).

- No unsafe blocks.

- [`reqwest`](https://crates.io/crates/reqwest) crate is used for performing requests.

- [`chrono`](https://crates.io/crates/chrono) for dates.

- [`serde`](https://crates.io/crates/serde) for serialization and deserialization.

## Features

- `rand` feature which provides the

[`rand_core::RngCore`](https://rust-random.github.io/rand/rand_core/trait.RngCore.html)

trait implementation for the [`Random`](https://docs.rs/randomorg/0.5.0/randomorg/struct.Random.html)

struct and adds new `FallibleRandom` structure

for better random generation UX.

## Usage

Start by creating `Random` instance and perform needed operations after.

```rust

extern crate randomorg;

fn main() {

    use randomorg::Random;

    let r = Random::new("API KEY HERE");

    // A method-call way:

    println!("Result: {:?}", r.generate_integers(-100, 100, 15, true));

    // A lazy request builder way:

    let random_data = r.request_integers().min(0).max(100).limit(5).collect::>();

    println!("Random integers: {:?}", random_data);

}

```

With the `rand` feature you can also use it that way:

```rust

extern crate randomorg;

fn main() {

    use rand_core::RngCore;

    use randomorg::Random;

   

    let mut random = Random::new("API KEY HERE");

    let mut key = [0u8; 16];

    random.fill_bytes(&mut key);

    let random_u64 = random.next_u64();

}

```
