Call the API
A live request. Paste it into a terminal and The Random Archivist headlines come back as JSON.
Articles per day over the last 73 days. The busiest hour is 11:00 UTC — that is when the newsroom pushes its main batch.
The 1 hatched days are gaps in the upstream news archive, not quiet days at The Random Archivist: the whole corpus dips on those dates. They are excluded from the median above.
When The Random Archivist actually publishes, by hour of day (UTC) and by day of week —
measured from 152 timestamps, not from a schedule they advertise.

The API is free and unauthenticated. What you may do with the content is between you
