Add &json=1 to the request.

Is there a way to get a random post through API?

Not directly. The recommended indirect method is:
1. Load the API search normally, with &limit=1 added to the request to limit it to return 1 item. (The limit is to save bandwidth, and at this point not strictly necessary.)
2. Get the number of results from the count in the API response.
3. Generate a random number between 1 and that number inclusive.
4. Load the API search with &limit=1&offset={N}, where {N} is the number you generated. The limit will limit the number of results to 1, and offset will load the N'th page of results. Since each page is 1 result long, you will get the N'th result for the search, which will be random since you generated N randomly.
You will now have one random post from any possible tag search, including the main post listing.
