API for staff

Scores

You should provide a list contains emails of your students, the target name and its deadline to get the scores.

POST

We should use GET with body to get the scores. It's wired to use GET with body, but the RFC 7230 on HTTP/1.1 says:

Request message framing is independent of method semantics, even if the method does not define any use for a message body.

But a lot existing http library don't provide GET with body, so we use POST.

The endpoint should be: https://test161.ops-class.org/api-v2/scores

Authentication

We can use the token of our test161 web app to authenticate two things:

1. It's a correct user.
2. It's a staff.

We may need to ask the staff its own email address to make sure the relationship of the staff and students.

Usage

The server will look forward the X-Auth-Token field in the request header. So please set the field with your token like:

"X-Auth-Token": "97f0ad9e24ca5e0408a269748d7fe0a0"
