  name: API Ninja Tags - Trivia
  description: >
    Show a trivia question every hour, with the answer only being revealed after 30 minutes! The answer only reveals on the second half hour of every question.... you have 30 minutes to guess on the hour before the tag updates!

    ### Requirements:

    - The [OpenEpaperLink HA Integration](https://github.com/OpenEPaperLink/Home_Assistant_Integration).

    - An [API Ninjas API Key](https://api-ninjas.com/register). it's free!

    ### Installation:

    - Add the [rest sensor](https://github.com/chunkysteveo/OpenEPaperLink-HA-API-Ninja-Tags/blob/main/ha-configuration.yaml) to your home assistant configuration file and replace `'YOUR_SECRET_KEY_FROM_API_NINJAS'` with your API key (or set it in your secrets file)

    - Reload HA.

    - Select the tag(s) you want to display the Questions on.

    ### Customizing:

    - For a nicer font add [`GothamRnd-Bold.ttf`](https://github.com/chunkysteveo/OpenEPaperLink-HA-API-Ninja-Tags/raw/refs/heads/main/GothamRnd-Bold.ttf) and set the path in the optional font file field.
