api.www.root-me.org

This API allows you to access Root-Me portal's public data. Different "endpoints" are available

/login : authentication with username and password
/challenges : challenge's data
/auteurs : user's data
/environnements_virtuels : data related to CTF all the Day's virtual environments

For each of these methods, accepted parameters are detailed below.

This API needs to be authenticated, it is therefore necessary to transmit your "spip_session" cookie or your "API key" in each request sent.
