CodeChef API. How to fetch General user profile information ?
By direction_, history, 16 months ago, In English

Is there any way still like I can get basic user information for their codechef profile like handle, contest rating, country Ranking, Globel Ranking, and the total number of questions solved all time?

      Upon checking out the github repo of the api, it seems to me that it only fetches data for user with an active rating. You can try using the api for an account with rating.

          Seriously dude are you not aware of the rating concept?

          The api ONLY works for users who have participated in a rated contest and have an ACTIVE RATING (for example I am a 4 star (rating: 1844) on codechef. You are unrated on CC.

          Atleast have complete knowledge about a platform before nullifying someone's hard work.
