💻 Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Pyramid-IT-Learn/Pyramid-Performance-Tracker.git
   cd Pyramid-Performance-Tracker

2. Create a Virtual Environment: Make sure you have Python and venv installed:

   python -m venv venv

3. Activate the Virtual Environment:

   • On Windows:

     venv\Scripts\activate

   • On macOS/Linux:

     source venv/bin/activate

4. Install Required Packages: Install the necessary packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

🔑 Environment Setup

To configure the application, you'll need to set several environment variables. You can create a .env file in the root directory or set these variables in your environment:

CODEFORCES_KEY=your_codeforces_api_key
CODEFORCES_SECRET=your_codeforces_api_secret
GIT_USERNAME=your_github_username
GIT_PASSWORD=your_github_password
GFG_USERNAME=your_geeksforgeeks_username
GFG_PASSWORD=your_geeksforgeeks_password
CODECHEF_CLIENT_ID=your_codechef_client_id
CODECHEF_CLIENT_SECRET=your_codechef_client_secret
DB_PASSWORD=your_mongodb_password

📊 Database Configuration

• MongoDB Connection:

  mongodb://myUserAdmin:<DB_PASSWORD>@your_mongodb_host:27017
  

• DB_NAME: Keep it as Pyramid or change it as needed for different colleges.
• USERS_COLLECTION: Change this name for different batches; currently set to Pyramid-2026-LEADERBOARD.

📈 Usage

To manage the Pyramid Performance Tracker, follow these steps:

1. Verify Users: This will download the CSV file specified in the config if it doesn't exist.

   python main.py --verify all

2. Upload Data to Database:

   python main.py --upload

3. Scrape Data: Collect data from all platforms.

   python main.py --scrape all

4. Clear Logs and Reports (optional):

   python main.py --clear

Ensure you run the verification and upload steps before scraping to keep your data updated!

This will fetch user data and generate reports in the reports directory.

🌐 Viewing Leaderboards

You can view the latest leaderboards and track participant performance at Pyramid Leaderboards.

🔄 Workflows

The Pyramid Performance Tracker project uses GitHub Actions to automate key tasks:

1. Leaderboard Builder

• Trigger: Manually.
• Purpose: Scrapes user data from coding platforms and builds the leaderboard report.

2. Manual Scrape & Build Leaderboard

• Trigger: Manually select platforms.
• Purpose: Scrapes data from specific platforms (CodeChef, Codeforces, etc.) or all at once.

3. Manual Verify & Upload Users

Needs to be performed first.

• Trigger: Manually select platforms.
• Purpose: Verifies user handles and uploads the data to the database.

4. Scheduled Leaderboard Scraper

• Trigger: Scheduled. (01:30 AM IST on Tuesday and Saturday)
• Purpose: To generate the data for users in the database continuously.

To trigger workflows, go to the GitHub Actions tab in your repository and select the desired workflow.
