When I go to [Open Trivia DB: Free to use, user-contributed trivia question database.](https://opentdb.com/api_config.php) and enter the data I want, I do not get a URL. The page just refreshes and removes all my entered data when I click the button.

I’ve manually made a URL “[https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10](https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10)” which has worked, but I want the questions to be True/False.

However “[https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10?type=boolean](https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10?type=boolean)” just gives response code 2.

Has the argument for the type changed? If so, what’s the new one?

I’m able to generate API URLS fine, might be a browser addon that could be preventing you from using the tool.

The URL for boolean questions is “[https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10&type=boolean](https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10&type=boolean)”. You had it close but the & is needed to add the boolean query parameter.

Thanks a lot! I have no idea how I made a mistake like that. But this fixed it
