LeetCode Problem Set

Parse a LeetCode problem set listing into structured JSON with each problem id, title, difficulty, acceptance rate, premium flag, and URL. It is one of four LeetCode scrapers on the LeetCode Scraper API page, where you can also check pricing and start free.

The daily challenge is returned as an extra row

LeetCode pins the daily challenge above the paginated table, so a full page returns one entry more than the page size - the pinned problem first, then the table rows. It is the only entry with isDailyQuestion set to true, which makes it straightforward to drop if you only want the table.

API usage

Add &scraper=leetcode-serp to a Crawling API request. URL-encode the target URL in the url parameter.

curl 'https://api.crawlbase.com/?token=YOUR_TOKEN' \
  --data-urlencode 'url=https://leetcode.com/problemset/' \
  --data-urlencode 'scraper=leetcode-serp' -G
from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI

api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_TOKEN'})
res = api.get(
    'https://leetcode.com/problemset/',
    {'scraper': 'leetcode-serp'}
)

import json
data = json.loads(res['body'])
const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase');
const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });

const res = await api.get(
  'https://leetcode.com/problemset/',
  { scraper: 'leetcode-serp' }
);
const data = JSON.parse(res.body);
require 'crawlbase'
api = Crawlbase::API.new(token: 'YOUR_TOKEN')

res = api.get('https://leetcode.com/problemset/', scraper: 'leetcode-serp')
data = JSON.parse(res.body)

Example input URL

Any LeetCode problem set listing works in the url parameter - the unfiltered set at /problemset/ or a filtered view. For example:

https://leetcode.com/problemset/
https://leetcode.com/problemset/?difficulty=EASY
https://leetcode.com/problemset/?topicSlugs=dynamic-programming
