I made my own script to filter problems in CF problemset. If such script with same function already exists you can ignore my post or downvote it.
This is a python 3 script that fetches all problems from CF problemset and allows custom filtering. It supports custom filter criteria in python expression format. After you input the filter function, it filters the problems and choose a random one. More details can be found in spoilers below.
In your filter expression, you are given variables problem and contest, and it's supposed to returns 1 if the problem matches your search, 0 otherwise.
Example: problem.rating == 2400 and "geometry" not in problem.tags and contest.divison == "Div. 1"
The variable problem contains such properties:
id - The ID of the problem, in the format e.g. 1234H, 2024A.
rating - The CF rating tag. Can be absent.
contest - The contest id of this problem. Equals to contest.id.
psetname - The problemset name of this problem.
index - The problem index in its contest, such as A or C.
pts - The problem points worth in its contest, 1500 for example.
tags - Problem tags. Used to filter out 'data structure' or 'geometry'.
The variable contest contains such properties:
id - The ID of the contest. It is different from the round number.
type - The scroing rules of such contest. Enumeration of "CF", "IOI" and "ICPC".
name - The contest name. Example, "Codeforces Round #7744 (Div. 10)".
division - The contest division in string. Enumeration of "Div. 1+Div. 2", "Div. 1", "Div. 2", "Div. 3", "Div. 4", "Educational" and "Unknown". (Wanna know how it works? Just do string matching in the contest name dummy)
Most of these properties are directly copied from the API.
