Use when a task needs light entertainment content from a live API - "build a quiz/trivia game", "random dog picture", "cat fact", "advice of the day", "random fun fact" - for a demo, bot, party feature, or filler content slot. Open Trivia DB is the quiz default (its session-token mechanics are documented here); catfact.ninja, random.dog, Advice Slip, and Useless Facts cover the rest, all keyless. Do NOT use for placeholder users/products/images in a prototype - use test-placeholder-data…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Fun Content APIs Pull trivia, animal images, and one-liner facts from verified keyless endpoints. The mistakes this prevents: shipping a quiz that repeats questions because Open Trivia DB's token mechanics were skipped, printing raw HTML entities in questions, and citing one of this category's chronically-dead quote APIs from training memory. ## Ranked APIs 1. **Open Trivia DB** (opentdb.com) - DEFAULT for quiz/trivia: 4,000+ questions, categories, difficulties. No key, but has session-token and encoding mechanics (below) that naive integrations get wrong. 2. **catfact.ninja** - random cat facts. **random.dog** - random dog images (the better-known Dog CEO API at dog.ceo is returning HTTP 520s, verified - see Do NOT). 3. **Advice Slip** (api.adviceslip.com) and **Useless Facts** (uselessfacts.jsph.pl) - one-liner advice and fun facts. ## Procedure 1. **Trivia beyond one throwaway call → get a session token first.** The token makes the API track served questions so users never see repeats. Rate limit: **1 request per IP per 5 seconds** - batch up to 50 questions per call instead of calling per-question. …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/fun-content@sha256:da29ab45db346b95The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
