🔧 Key Features Implemented

🔍 Platform Differentiation

  • LeetCode APIs: All prefixed with /leetcode/ for clear separation
  • CodeChef APIs: All prefixed with /codechef/ for clear identification
  • Platform Field: Each response includes "platform": "LeetCode" or "platform": "CodeChef"

🚫 Zero Rating Handling

  • CodeChef Rating: Returns 0 when user hasn't participated in any contests
  • Contest Count: Returns totalContests: 0 for users with no contest history
  • Graceful Degradation: API works even when user has minimal activity

🛡️ Robust Error Handling

  • User Validation: Validates usernames (supports dots for CodeChef)
  • 404 Handling: Proper error responses for non-existent users
  • Rate Limiting: 100 requests per 15 minutes per IP
  • Timeout Protection: 30-second timeouts for external API calls

📊 Response Format

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Data retrieved successfully",
  "data": {
    "platform": "CodeChef|LeetCode",
    // ... platform-specific data
  },
  "timestamp": "2025-07-18T07:53:27.485Z"
}

🧪 Testing Results

✅ Working Endpoints (Tested Successfully)

  • LeetCode user profiles, badges, solved stats
  • LeetCode daily questions and problems list
  • LeetCode trending discussions
  • CodeChef user profiles with zero rating handling
  • CodeChef rating, ranking, and statistics
  • Health check and API documentation

⚠️ Known Limitations

  • Some LeetCode users may not have contest data
  • CodeChef contest list may be empty (API limitation)
  • CodeChef data depends on web scraping (may need updates if site changes)

🚀 How to Use

Start the Server

npm start          # Production
npm run dev        # Development with auto-reload
npm run demo       # Run comprehensive test

Example API Calls

# LeetCode user profile
curl "http://localhost:3000/leetcode/leetcode"

# CodeChef user rating (returns 0 if no contests)
curl "http://localhost:3000/codechef/user/admin/rating"

# LeetCode daily question
curl "http://localhost:3000/leetcode/daily"

# LeetCode problems with filters
curl "http://localhost:3000/leetcode/problems?difficulty=EASY&limit=5"

📈 Performance & Scalability

  • Concurrent Requests: Handles multiple API calls efficiently
  • Caching: Response compression for better performance
  • Security: Helmet.js for security headers, CORS enabled
  • Monitoring: Comprehensive logging and error tracking

🎯 Mission Accomplished!

✅ All requested LeetCode endpoints implemented
✅ CodeChef integration with zero rating handling
✅ Clear platform differentiation with prefixes
