API

The Hackalist API is split into separate JSON files for each month of each year, following the file pattern /api/1.0/YEAR/MONTH.json.

The API is public, so feel free to use it. As always, a link back to Hackalist is appreciated.

Listings are sorted chronology based on the starting date of the hackathon. If two hackathons start on the same day, they are sorted alphabetically.
