How do I get a random word object from a parse database. Any ideas? Any random word from the API's dictionary

parse database

What do you mean, precisely ?

do you get a return from a request ?
which request ?
what is the return
you want to get a random of what exactly ?

Don't ask such general question on the forum:

explain what you want to achieve
post some initial code
explain what problem you are facing

Did you first look at Parse tutorials, to learn how to use ?
As an example: https ://guides.codepath. com/ios/Building-Data-driven-Apps-with-Parse

Then, if you have a query:

Code Block query.findObjectsInBackground { (posts: [Post]?, error: Error?) in
    if let posts = posts {
        // do something with the array of object returned by the call
    } else {
        print(error?.localizedDescription)
    }
}

you can get a random item in array with:

Code Block if let randomPost = posts..randomElement() {
    // Do what you need of this random value
}
