ReddIt

ReddIt API Hiring Test.

Launch the App and test it by typing this URL : http://localhost:2431/sports?domain=youtube.com

Task

Implement a solution to retrieve the top 100 items from the reddit API, save them to a database, then expose an API which returns the items filtered by domain and grouped by author.

Specification

• The server should expose an API endpoint:
  • Endpoint: GET /sports?domain='...'; Params: domain - Should equal to the domain property in the reddit response
  • Example: /sports?domain='youtube.com'
  • Response: Returns an array which contains items grouped by author, must support JSON format.
  • Example Response

[
	{
		author: "Mike",
		items: [
			{
				id: "123fg",
				createdDate: "2014-09-14T22:44:51+00:00",
				title: "Huge hit in football game",
				permalink: "/r/sports/comments/2gl3ih/huge_hit_in_hs_football_game/" 
			}
			...
		]	
	}
...
]

• When calling the API the data should be retrieved from reddit.Endpoint to use: http://www.reddit.com/r/sports.json?limit=100
• The reddit API response should be saved to the database without restructuring the data. (renaming is allowed)
• Before sending the response the data should be processed to return the posts grouped by the user

Context

Technology stack to use:

• C#
• ASP.NET WEB API 2.x
• SQL Server
• Any ORM technologies

Goal

During implementation focus on delivering a high quality, maintainable, working solution with passing unit tests. No additional functionality is required.
