What authentication does the HackerEarth Code Evaluation API use?

Requests must include a client-secret header containing the partner key issued from the HackerEarth developer dashboard. Through Jentic, this secret is stored encrypted in the vault and injected at execution time so the agent never sees the raw key.

Which languages does the HackerEarth Code Evaluation API support?

The v4 API supports over 30 languages including Python 2 and 3, Java, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, Kotlin, Ruby, JavaScript (Node), TypeScript, PHP, Swift, Scala, and Haskell. The exact identifier list is documented in the HackerEarth language reference and passed in the lang field of the submission body.

How do I submit code and read the result?

POST to /code-evaluation/submissions with the source, lang, input, time_limit, and memory_limit fields. The response returns a submission id. Poll GET /code-evaluation/submissions/{id} until the status field reads COMPLETED, then read the output, time_used, and memory_used fields. To avoid polling, supply a callback URL in the submission body.

What are the rate limits for the HackerEarth Code Evaluation API?

Limits are tied to the partner plan associated with the client-secret. Free trial keys are heavily throttled while paid partner plans receive higher concurrent execution allowances. Check the response headers and your dashboard for current usage versus quota.

How do I use HackerEarth code execution with AI agents through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, search 'execute python code', and Jentic returns the HackerEarth POST /code-evaluation/submissions operation. Execute it with the source, then call the GET /code-evaluation/submissions/{id} operation until completion.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the HackerEarth Code Evaluation API?

Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you run it and your own rules decide which of this API's operations and credentials the agent may use. This API exposes only two operations, submitting code with POST /code-evaluation/submissions and fetching a result by id with GET /code-evaluation/submissions/{id}, so you can allow your agent to poll and read existing results while withholding the ability to create new submissions, or grant both. Your HackerEarth client-secret partner key stays with your Jentic One instance and is injected only for the operations you have permitted.
