cpapi's Issues

Server Error

the api gives internal server error as its response

Wrong Contest Duration

Issue

Contests with a duration of less than 1 hour show 0 Days as the contestDuration parameter.

How it should look like

The contestDuration parameter should show the exact duration of the contest, which in this case is 45 minutes.

Screenshot

No response from HackerEarth on deployment.

Issue

When running the server on a local system, the API response has HackerEarth contests, but the deployment server doesn't show a single contest from HackerEarth in the responses.

How to reproduce the issue?

• Fork the repo and clone into your local system
• open the directory, run py app.py or python app.py in the terminal
• a localhost will start at this address => http://127.0.0.1:5000/; open it in your browser.
