API Key Info

Your API key is dd927d078678291d8efcf7381fe1.

The key you get here will be used to authorize you to access the partner and results APIs.

Its your first day at a company, and youre in charge of writing the logic to send invitations to a special two-day event in each country for the companys partners in those countries. We need to find the dates thatll work best based on survey results that partners have sent in and determine how many people can attend.

Youre provided with an API that gives you a list of partners, their countries, and which dates theyre available in ISO 8601 format.

Another team will send out the invitations, but you need to tell them when we should host the event and who should attend by POSTing to an API.

The date you send in for the country should be the starting date of the two day period where the mostpartners can make it for both days in a row. In case of multiple dates with the same number of partners, pick the earlier date. If there are no two days in a row when any partners can make it, return null.

Here's a sample response with 10 partners:

{ "partners": [ { "firstName": "Darin", "lastName": "Daignault", "email": "ddaignault@hubspotpartners.com", "country": "United States", "availableDates": [ "2017-05-03", "2017-05-06" ] }, { "firstName": "Crystal", "lastName": "Brenna", "email": "cbrenna@hubspotpartners.com", "country": "Ireland", "availableDates": [ "2017-04-27", "2017-04-29", "2017-04-30" ] }, { "firstName": "Janyce", "lastName": "Gustison", "email": "jgustison@hubspotpartners.com", "country": "Spain", "availableDates": [ "2017-04-29", "2017-04-30", "2017-05-01" ] }, { "firstName": "Tifany", "lastName": "Mozie", "email": "tmozie@hubspotpartners.com", "country": "Spain", "availableDates": [ "2017-04-28", "2017-04-29", "2017-05-01", "2017-05-04" ] }, { "firstName": "Temple", "lastName": "Affelt", "email": "taffelt@hubspotpartners.com", "country": "Spain", "availableDates": [ "2017-04-28", "2017-04-29", "2017-05-02", "2017-05-04" ] }, { "firstName": "Robyn", "lastName": "Yarwood", "email": "ryarwood@hubspotpartners.com", "country": "Spain", "availableDates": [ "2017-04-29", "2017-04-30", "2017-05-02", "2017-05-03" ] }, { "firstName": "Shirlene", "lastName": "Filipponi", "email": "sfilipponi@hubspotpartners.com", "country": "Spain", "availableDates": [ "2017-04-30", "2017-05-01" ] }, { "firstName": "Oliver", "lastName": "Majica", "email": "omajica@hubspotpartners.com", "country": "Spain", "availableDates": [ "2017-04-28", "2017-04-29", "2017-05-01", "2017-05-03" ] }, { "firstName": "Wilber", "lastName": "Zartman", "email": "wzartman@hubspotpartners.com", "country": "Spain", "availableDates": [ "2017-04-29", "2017-04-30", "2017-05-02", "2017-05-03" ] }, { "firstName": "Eugena", "lastName": "Auther", "email": "eauther@hubspotpartners.com", "country": "United States", "availableDates": [ "2017-05-04", "2017-05-09" ] } ] } 

POST a JSON body to:

https://candidate.hubteam.com/candidateTest/v2/results?userKey=dd927d078678291d8efcf7381fe1

For the list of partners above, the proper API response to send would look like this:

{ "countries": [ { "attendeeCount": 1, "attendees": [ "cbrenna@hubspotpartners.com" ], "name": "Ireland", "startDate": "2017-04-29" }, { "attendeeCount": 0, "attendees": [], "name": "United States", "startDate": null }, { "attendeeCount": 3, "attendees": [ "omajica@hubspotpartners.com", "taffelt@hubspotpartners.com", "tmozie@hubspotpartners.com" ], "name": "Spain", "startDate": "2017-04-28" } ] } 

If your answer is correct, the API will return 200 OK. If the request is malformatted or incorrect, the API will return 400 along with a message indicating if the response is of the wrong structure or incorrect.

If you get a 5xx response, let us know and we'll help you out.
