Retrieve and decrypt puzzle input data for everybody.codes events

Everybody Codes Data

This library is used to decrypt input notes for everybody.codes events.

Install

pip install everybody-codes-data

Auth

Your auth token should be placed at ~/.config/ecd/token or defined in the ECD_TOKEN environment variable. Get the token from the "Session Cookie" section on your profile.

Usage

There is a getter function ecd.get_inputs which accepts the quest and event, and returns a dict of your decrypted data. The dict will have string keys "1", "2", "3" corresponding to the puzzle parts. Inputs are unlocked as you complete subsequent parts, so the dict will have only the key "1" initially.

>>> from ecd import get_inputs
>>> data = get_inputs(quest=3, event=2024)
>>> print(data["1"])

There is also a CLI:

$ ecd 3 2024 --part 1

See ecd --help for more info on that.

Submission

everybody-codes-data can also post answers.

from ecd import submit
submit(quest=1, event=2024, part=1, answer=1323)

If you don't want the submission result printed to the terminal, pass quiet=True.

The result of the submission will be logged (so you may want to configure the logging framework in your project), but if you want to see the result explicitly the return value here is just a urllib3.HTTPResponse instance.

from ecd import submit
result = submit(quest=1, event=2024, part=1, answer=1323, quiet=True)
print(result.status)
print(result.json())

Import interface

There is also a "magic" interface, similar to advent-of-code-data, where you can use a direct import statement. To use this feature, you must structure your directories and filenames like ec{event}/q{quest}.py in order that the library can introspect the event/quest from the path. For example, this structure should work:

my-repo/ec2024/q01.py    (event=2024, quest=1) 
my-repo/ec2024/q02.py    (event=2024, quest=2)
my-repo/ec2025/q01.py    (event=2025, quest=1)

Then in your script, the dict of data will be populated from an import statement:

from ecd import data

If you don't want to use this directory structure, call the ecd.get_inputs() function directly instead of using the import syntax. The getter function has no restrictions on script, module or package names.

Caching

This library will cache inputs to avoid hitting the server unnecessarily. Your input data will only be cached locally once all three parts can be decrypted (i.e. once you've solved part 1 and part 2). There is no caching for partial solves. Caches are stored at ~/.config/ecd in JSON format, they can be safely removed anytime.
