How to return random items RESTfully?

Question

My design exposes two kinds of resources:

1. Images
2. Tags

I would like clients to be able to request random images by their tag(s). For example

Answer 1

I agree with Triptych on this one. In a way adding random to the end of the URI makes it feel like an operation, but if it is scoped to a tag then you're really just refining the context.

In his example of:

/image/tagged/sometag/random

images resource -> tagging scope (all images with tags) -> specific tag (all images with tag X) -> random (a resource from the scoped list of images with tag X)
