API

The documentation website for the Code Execution API serves as a comprehensive resource for developers, providing detailed information on how to use the API to execute code snippets in various programming languages. This documentation offers a structured guide to understand the API's functionalities, endpoints, request and response formats, authentication mechanisms, usage examples, error handling, and more.
The website is designed to cater to developers of all skill levels, offering clear and concise explanations, code examples, and step-by-step tutorials. It aims to empower developers to leverage the API effectively in their projects, enabling them to execute code securely and efficiently across multiple programming languages.

Parameter

This section provides detailed documentation for the parameters accepted by the API endpoints, including their types, purposes, and usage guidelines.

Request Parameters

The following parameters are commonly used in API requests:

1. Language (lang):

  • Type: String
  • Description: Specifies the programming language of the code snippet to be executed. Supported languages include Python, Java, C, C++, and more.
  • Example: `"lang": "Python"`

    • 2. Code (code):

  • Type: String
  • Description: Represents the actual code snippet to be executed. It should be provided as a string in the request body.
  • Example: `"code": "print('Hello, World!')"`

    • 3. Input (input):

  • Type: String
  • Description: Optional parameter that provides input data to the code snippet. Useful for programs that require user input during execution.
  • Example: `"input": "5"`

    • Response Parameters

    The API responses may contain the following parameters:

    1. Output (output):

  • Type: String
  • Description: Contains the output generated by the execution of the code snippet. This could be the result of the code's execution, any printed output, or error messages.
  • Example: `"output": "Hello, World!"`

    • 2. Error (error):

  • Type: String
  • Description: Indicates any errors encountered during code execution. If the code snippet fails to execute or encounters an error condition, the error message is provided in this parameter.
  • Example: `"error": "NameError: name 'x' is not defined"`

    • Usage Guidelines

    When using the Code Execution API, developers should adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Ensure that all required parameters are provided in the API requests, such as `lang` and `code`.
  • Validate input data before sending requests to the API to prevent potential errors or security vulnerabilities.
  • Handle API responses appropriately, checking for errors and processing output data as needed.
  • Respect rate limits and usage quotas imposed by the API to avoid being throttled or blocked due to excessive usage.
    • By following these guidelines and understanding the purpose and usage of each parameter, developers can effectively utilize the Code Execution API to execute code snippets securely and efficiently across various programming languages.
