Fetch questions by ID, and map a whole set between languages
What's new
Fetch questions by ID, in one call.
GET /v1/questions?ids=...takes up to 250 IDs and returns exactly those questions in a single request. Use it to restore a saved set after a refresh, build anti-repeat without re-rolling, or resolve deep-links in bulk. IDs that no longer exist come back inmeta.missing— nothing is dropped silently, and results come back in the order you asked for them.Switch a whole set between languages — same questions, not a new draw. Add
content_language(enorpl) and each ID is mapped to its counterpart in that language across the translation chain. So when a user flips a quiz from English to Polish, they see the same questions translated, not a fresh random set. Questions without a translation are reported inmeta.missingso you can keep the original for those.Same capability in the SDK and MCP. The
@quizbase/clientSDK addsquestions.getByIds(ids)andquestions.mapToLanguage(ids, 'pl'). The MCP server'squizbase_listtool accepts the sameidsandcontent_language, so AI agents can do batch fetch and language mapping too.
Details
content_languageis the language of the question text. It is separate fromlang, which only localizes category and tag labels —langnever translated the question itself. The docs and guides have been corrected throughout to make this clear.- Pass the IDs you already hold; the service resolves the translation family for you.
- Everything is additive — existing keys, requests, and SDK code keep working unchanged.
