HackerearthApi

A Ruby client for the official Hackerearth API. Supports both the API endpoints. Can be used to compile and run code.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hackerearth_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hackerearth_api

Usage

Creating a Instance

To start using gem, you can create a new client instance by passing the client_secret to the constructor as

hacker = HackerearthApi.new("[your-client-secret]")

Setting Parameters

Since, the instance already has the client_secret you only need to pass rest of the parameters to make a request. 'source'(source code) and 'lang'(language) are the required parameters for both the calls, not passing them will raise an ExceptionHandler::InvalidParameterException exception.

To view the list of languages supported you can do as follows

HackerearthApi.languages

'time_limit' and 'memory_limit' should be atmost 5 and 262144 respectively, any values greater than maximum value are set to the maximum value.

Making a Request

Now you can further make compile and run calls to the API as follows by passing the parameters mentioned in the API documentation, in the form of a hash.

hacker.compile({:source=>"puts('Hello World!')", :lang=>"RUBY"})

hacker.run({:source=>"puts('Hello World!')", :lang=>"RUBY"})	

Response from API

The result of both the calls is in the form of a ruby hash. It will contain the response same as mentioned in the API documentation, along with another key in hash named "status", which will be the http status of the reponse.

Editing the Instance

You can view or change the current objects client_secret

# To read
hacker.client_secret_key  
	
# To change
hacker.client_secret= "[new-client-secret]"
