AtlasHackathon - A Quiz API using MongoDB and FastAPI

I created this application to take part in MongoDB Atlas Hackathon.

Project Idea

I wanted to create a quiz API. The API allows to create quizzes and subsequently also to submit a quiz and calculate the achieved points. Quizzes can also be tagged with categories (e.g. fun, programming, general knowledge etc.).
The API also includes authentication using OAUTH2, the user data as well as all other data is stored in the MongoDB cloud atlas database.

Core functions at a glance:

• Authentication/ Authorization using OAuth2
• CRUD Operations for quiz categories
• CRUD Operations for quizzes
  • Including Quiz submition and calulating the total and reached points
• Also, the project is fully covered by unit tests

Overview of My Submission

This project was built on top of the following tech-stack:

• Python 3.9
• FastApi
• MongoDB Cloud Atlas
• MongoEngine

You can test the API with the included Postman collection:

Before using the collection, please create a Postman environment:

• api_url: URL to the API
• username: email of your user
• password: plain text password of your user

After this step the Access Token can be obtained:

Alternatively, the API can also be tested with the built-in Swagger UI:

The docs are available at this link: {host}:{port}/docs

After that: Have fun :)
