I'm trying to retrieve a random entry from a database using the Notion API. There is a page limit on how many entries you can retrieve at once, so pagination is utilized to sift through the pages 100 entries at a time. Since there is no database attribute telling you how long the database is, you have to go through the pages in order until reaching the end in order to choose a random entry. This is fine for small databases, but I have a cron job going that regularly chooses a random entry from a notion database with thousands of entries. Additionally, if I make too many calls simultaneously I risk being rate limited pretty often. Is there a better way to go about choosing a random value from a database that uses pagination? Thanks!
