online-judge-tools/api-client

What is this?

This is an API client for various online judges, used as the backend library of oj command. You can use the Python library (onlinejudge module) and the command-line interface (oj-api command) which talks JSON compatible with jmerle/competitive-companion.

How to install

$ pip3 install online-judge-api-client

Supported websites

Instead of login-service, you can use oj command with Selenium as oj login https://.... This can login almost all services.

Supported subcommands of oj-api command

get-problem

oj-api get-problem PROBLEM_URL parses the given problem and prints the results as JSON compatible with jmerle/competitive-companion.

options

• --system: get system cases, instead of sample cases
• --full: dump all additional data

format

• url: the URL of the problem
• name: the name of the problem. This doesn't include alphabets (e.g. just "Xor Sum" is used instead of "D. Xor Sum") because such alphabets are attributes belonging to the relation between problems and contests rather than belonging to only problems. (not compatible to jmerle/competitive-companion)
• context:
  • contest (optional): - url: the URL of the contest - name: the name of the contest
  • alphabet (optional): the alphabet of the problem in the contest
• memoryLimit: the memory limit in megabytes (MB); not mebibytes (MiB). They sometimes become non-integers, but be rounded down for the compatibility reason with jmerle/competitive-companion.
• timeLimit: the time limit in milliseconds (msec)
• tests:
  • input: the input of the test case
  • output: the output of the test case

format (additional)

• tests:
  • name (optional, when --system): the name of the system case (e.g. random-004.in, fft_killer_01, 99_hand.txt)
• availableLanguages (optional, when --full):
  • id: the ID of language to submit the server (e.g. 3003)
  • description: the description of the language to show to users (e.g. C++14 (GCC 5.4.1))
• raw (optional, when --full):
  • html (optional): the raw HTML used internally. This might contain sensitive info like CSRF tokens.
  • json (optional): the raw JSON used internally. This might contain sensitive info like access tokens.
  • etc.

Tips

For end-users who don't develop any programs:

• Please use the oj command instead of this oj-api command.
  • The oj-api command is intended to be used as a backend of other programs. It's not a frontend which humans use directly.

For developers of programs which use oj-api:

• Please be polite to judge servers.
  • We are accessing the web pages using the unintended way, i.e. without GUI browsers. We should not forget that this is basically not welcomed.
• Please be aware that this package uses Semantic Versioning.
  • The "public API" of this package is the documented features of oj-api command and the documented modules of onlinejudge module.
• You can also use the oj login command to login servers with GUI browsers.
  • The implementation around authentication is very complicated and fragile. For example, Codeforces has four methods to login: password, Gmail, Facebook, and ICPC. So we need to use GUI browsers for the development cost and stability.
  • This feature of oj login might be imported to oj-api command in the future.
