How do I ensure I don't get the same trivia question twice?

First, use the `request_token` tool to generate a session token. Then, include this token in your `get_questions` requests. The API will track your history and exclude previously seen questions for 6 hours.

How can I find the ID for a specific category like 'Science & Nature'?

Use the `get_categories` tool. It returns a complete list of all available trivia categories along with their unique numerical IDs, which you can then use to filter your questions.

Is there a way to check how many questions are available in a specific category?

Yes, use the `get_category_count` tool and provide the category ID. It will return the total number of questions available for that specific topic, including difficulty breakdowns.
