Getting a CodinGame puzzle's description without scraping the page.

I spent hours playing with different endpoints and changing values in postman, all to no avail. The most promising endpoint also returned user progress, which requires authentication, which requires a dummy account, which is against their ToS (it is allowed to reverse engineer the API though).

Turns out you just had to submit “null” for your user ID and it would remove the progress field.

Why is this tagged bad design?

["puzzle-id-string", user-id-as-int]

For almost anything, you POST json arrays...
