accessing puzzle dataset

Sort:

I am a data science student at General Assembly. For my final project I am hoping to build a model that could predict a puzzle's rating based on the position. Does anyone know how I might be able to access the puzzle dataset so I can use it to train and test my model? Thanks, folks!

This sounds like a super interesting project - I'd love to see the results!!  Sadly, I don't know the answer to your question, though...

There's an endpoint that returns data on single puzzles but chosen from the database at random. I suppose that might be a suitable way of obtaining a large set of random puzzles?
