Cody - Your Competitive Programming Friend

[pri1311]

Project Summary

Cody is a VSCode extension that alerts the users about upcoming/current coding contests on various competitive programming websites like CodeChef, Codeforces, Atcoder, etc.

It should download/display problem statements as well as test cases and submission results to the users in the editor itself. Users should also be able to submit their code/solution from VS Code itself instead of having to manually submit it on the contest website.

In addition, if possible instead of just having contest questions loaded and displayed, we can also let users view and solve problems from practice sections of various websites like Leetcode, GFG, etc.

Features

• Alerts for coding contests.
• Let users set reminders manually.
• Give the user the choice of shutting alerts for specific websites.
• Display problem statement along with test cases on the editor itself.
• Submit solution from editor and show results.
• Keyboard shortcuts for various tasks like showing upcoming contests, going to the next problem, submitting the code, etc.
• Allow users to view and submit practice problems as well.
• Show a dashboard of how many problems solved, number of contests, etc.

Are there any APIs you are aware of these websites from where we can easily fetch details of upcoming competitions ?

Also was thinking maybe we can add a social element where it shows if your friends are participating in some existing contests.

I am still researching for that, but I know that some websites like Codeforces and hackerrank have their own APIs.

Also, the friends feature would be really cool

[pri1311]

https://kontests.net/api this is one API, but it returns very basic information

Check this API. Might be useful.
Also in case you haven't heard, Clist is a good website for checking upcoming, running contests. It's response has most of the relevant info for all contests.

Another thing that comes to mind, is code snippets that we can provide, which are generally used in cp
