Random Number generator using the ANU Quantum Random Numbers Server

gistfile1.rb

module QRandom

  def next
    RestClient.get('http://qrng.anu.edu.au/API/jsonI.php?type=uint16&length=1'){ |response, request, result, &block|
      case response.code
        when 200
          _json=JSON.parse(response)
          if _json["success"]==true && _json["data"] 
            _json["data"].first || Random.rand(65535)
          else
            Random.rand(65535) #fallback
          end
        else
          puts response #log problem
          Random.rand(65535)   #fallback
      end
    }
  end

end

Recently wrote a Python version using generators, check out the demo: https://git.io/randquantum
