🧠 Open Trivia Database Question Scraper
🚀 Pull trivia questions across 24 categories with correct + incorrect answers, difficulty, type, category counts. Stable IDs for dedupe.
The Open Trivia Database Question Scraper pulls trivia questions from the Open Trivia DB community dataset. Output includes a stable question ID (SHA-1 hash for dedupe across runs), category name + numeric ID + group + subject, difficulty, type, language, the question text + length + word count, correct answer, incorrect answers (plain + joined text), all answers shuffled with the correct answer's index, per-category total + easy + medium + hard counts, and global category counts (total / verified / pending / rejected).
The Actor uses session tokens to avoid duplicates within a run, plus a SHA-1 hash of the question for dedupe across runs. Filter by category, difficulty (easy / medium / hard), and type (multiple choice / true-false).
