GET /v1/shuffle QuBitLang

Performs a Fisher-Yates shuffle using quantum entropy. Guarantees a cryptographically unbiased permutation - essential for card games, lottery draws, and any fair selection.

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
itemsstringNo1,2,...,10Comma-separated list of items to shuffle

Code Examples

shuffle.py
from trueentropy import TrueEntropy client = TrueEntropy(api_key="te_live_YOUR_KEY") # Shuffle a deck of cards deck = [f"{r}{s}" for s in "SHDC" for r in "A23456789TJQK"] result = client.shuffle(items=deck) print(result.shuffled[:5]) # ["7H", "KS", "3D", "AC", "9S"]
shuffle.js
import { TrueEntropy } from '@trueentropy/sdk'; const client = new TrueEntropy('te_live_YOUR_KEY'); const result = await client.shuffle({ items: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] }); console.log(result.data.shuffled); // [7, 3, 9, 1, 5, 10, 2, 8, 4, 6]
shuffle.php
use TrueEntropy\Client; $client = new Client('te_live_YOUR_KEY'); $result = $client->shuffle([ 'items' => '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10', ]); print_r($result->shuffled);
