What it is
beecrowd is a web and API platform for programming practice and for connecting people with opportunities. Users solve challenges in languages including Python, Java, C++, Kotlin, and Rust, and can earn ranking points, unlock badges, and take part in open contests. Its Academic offering lists AI-generated exercises and test cases, plus automated translation into English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The institutional plan supports multiple professors, centralized data management, and LMS integration through LTI 1.3/Advantage, including single sign-on and automatic transfer of grades and exercise results. The Academic Free (Individual) plan costs nothing and covers one active subject, up to 20 students per subject, and 2,500+ programming challenges. API access must be requested and use HTTPS; each application has a default limit of 100 requests per hour, which may change. Authorized applications can retrieve problem information and, with user permission, profiles and submissions. Code cannot currently be compiled directly on the portal.
