what platforms challenges should be added ? i'd like to work on this issue

[pranshugupta54]

Hey @Aadithya-J, we're only adding Tublian and Quine Quests for now. Let me know when you are able to setup the project locally. This needs to be implemented very similar to Contests.

[Aadithya-J]

Hey, i have setup the project locally. If you assign it to me i'll start working on it.

Also running lint seems to have made changes in 22 files (just spacing and empty line fixes) should i just commit with the corrections or leave it as it is

[pranshugupta54]

Leave the lint part for this issue, we can take it separately.

@pranshugupta54 i tried working on this but it seems like both tublian and quine quests do not have an ap and also render content dynamically so it cant be extracted using cheerio. I can use puppeteer or other similar browser automation libraries but they are too heavy weight. Should i use it or is there any other alternative ?

[pranshugupta54]

@Aadithya-J, check their Network inside inspect. They do use APIs to fetch the data dynamically

[Aadithya-J]

@pranshugupta54 yes i tried that but when i try to access it shows either "This http request method is not supported for this endpoint." or "unauthorized"

https://cosmos.quine.sh/api/cosmos/creators/quest/

[pranshugupta54]

@Aadithya-J, explore the network more - they have other API calls for it. You're either not using the method properly.

[Aadithya-J]

@pranshugupta54 Ok i have found the api call to fetch it for quine quests and made it work , but im not sure how to do it for tublian i have checked all the requests in network its not working. i'll work on only quine quests for now. will be completed in a few days
