API challenge against random

API is great. tho i can only challenge against a specific user. how can i create a game that would appear in the lobby of the lichess site? so that anyone could accept? if that is not allowed through the api, why not? or am i just missing it?

Maybe I'm missing the point... why would you want a computer program (via the API) make a challenge on your behalf? You wouldn't be right there ready to play the game.

An API is nothing but an interface. A human can play via the API as well as a computer.
