# `GET /api/v1/bootstrap`
|
|
|
|
Built by `SystemService.bootstrap()`. Public payload consumed by the
|
|
SPA's `BootstrapService`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"initialized": true,
|
|
"pageTitle": "HIPCTF",
|
|
"logo": "",
|
|
"welcomeMarkdown": "# Welcome\n\n...",
|
|
"theme": { "id": "classic", "tokens": { "...": "..." } },
|
|
"defaultChallengeIp": "127.0.0.1",
|
|
"registrationsEnabled": false,
|
|
"passwordPolicy": {
|
|
"minLength": 12,
|
|
"requireMixed": true,
|
|
"description": "At least 12 characters with upper, lower, digit and symbol"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `initialized` is `true` iff at least one admin user exists.
|
|
* `theme` is the resolved `Theme` (one of the 10 canonical themes; see
|
|
[Theming](/guides/theming.md)).
|
|
* `registrationsEnabled` is read from the `setting` table
|
|
(`SETTINGS_KEYS.REGISTRATIONS_ENABLED`) and gates the new public
|
|
register endpoint (see [Auth Endpoints](/api/auth.md)).
|
|
* `passwordPolicy` is derived from `PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH` /
|
|
`PASSWORD_REQUIRE_MIXED` env vars (see
|
|
[Change Password Guide](/guides/change-password.md)).
|
|
|
|
# `GET /api/v1/event/status` (legacy public snapshot)
|
|
|
|
Returns the current event window computed by `EventStatusService.getStatus()`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "state": "Running", "countdownMs": 12345, "startUtc": "...", "endUtc": "...", "serverNowUtc": "..." }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`status` is `Stopped` while `now < eventStartUtc` (countdown), `Running`
|
|
between start and end, and `Stopped` once `now >= eventEndUtc`. This
|
|
endpoint is preserved for backward compatibility — new consumers should
|
|
use `getState()` (see below).
|
|
|
|
# `GET /api/v1/settings/event` (public timestamps)
|
|
|
|
Returns the raw UTC event-window timestamps without computing state.
|
|
Useful for the SPA when only the window endpoints are needed:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "eventStartUtc": "2026-07-21T12:00:00.000Z", "eventEndUtc": "2026-07-28T12:00:00.000Z" }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A `null` value for either field means that the underlying `setting` row
|
|
is missing or empty; in that case `EventStatusService.getState()` returns
|
|
the `unconfigured` state.
|
|
|
|
# `GET /api/v1/events/status` (authenticated SSE)
|
|
|
|
Authenticated Server-Sent Events stream that pushes the full
|
|
`EventStatePayload` whenever it changes. Protected by the global
|
|
`JwtAuthGuard` — unauthenticated clients receive `401` before any frame
|
|
is sent.
|
|
|
|
Each frame:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"state": "countdown" | "running" | "stopped" | "unconfigured",
|
|
"serverNowUtc": "2026-07-21T12:00:00.000Z",
|
|
"eventStartUtc": "2026-07-21T12:00:00.000Z" | null,
|
|
"eventEndUtc": "2026-07-28T12:00:00.000Z" | null,
|
|
"secondsToStart": 3600,
|
|
"secondsToEnd": 604800
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `state` transitions:
|
|
* `unconfigured` — `eventStartUtc`/`eventEndUtc` settings are missing or unparseable.
|
|
* `countdown` — `now < eventStartUtc`.
|
|
* `running` — `start <= now <= end`.
|
|
* `stopped` — `now > eventEndUtc`.
|
|
* The stream emits:
|
|
1. An **initial** frame on connect (`defer(getState())`).
|
|
2. A **60-second tick** frame so the SPA can update even if no admin
|
|
cron publishes through the hub.
|
|
3. Any frame pushed via `SseHubService.publish()`.
|
|
* Consecutive identical payloads are suppressed via `distinctUntilChanged(JSON.stringify)`.
|
|
|
|
See `backend/src/common/services/event-status.service.ts` for the
|
|
authoritative state machine; see
|
|
[Event Window Guide](/guides/event-window.md) for the full diagram and
|
|
the SPA wiring. The authenticated browser consumer uses the fetch-based
|
|
transport in `frontend/src/app/core/services/authenticated-event-source.service.ts`
|
|
so it can send the JWT `Authorization` header; native `EventSource` cannot set
|
|
that header.
|
|
|
|
# `GET /api/v1/event/stream` (public SSE, legacy)
|
|
|
|
Public, flattened event stream that emits the legacy payload shape
|
|
(`status`, `countdownMs`, `startUtc`, `endUtc`, `serverNowUtc`) on a
|
|
1-second tick and on hub pushes. Preserved for backward compatibility
|
|
with the original landing page status badge.
|
|
|
|
# `GET /api/v1/scoreboard/stream`
|
|
|
|
Public SSE stream that pushes a flattened solve payload whenever a new
|
|
solve is published (`backend/src/common/services/sse-hub.service.ts`).
