I recently passed CKA and CKAD (yay me!).
Being that I’m very impatient and I couldn’t wait the 24 hours for my result. For people who haven’t attempted the Certified Kubernetes exams, there’s a 24 hour period between completing your exam and receiving the results.
So after I attempted CKAD (which came after CKA for me), I started inspecting the API calls. Users on Reddit pointed out that that exams are automatically marked and I wondered if there’s a way to figure out scores before 24 hour period.
I started combing through API calls made on the LinuxFoundation Training Portal exam page using my browser’s developer tool Network tab. After spending some time on it, I couldn’t believe that score was right there being returned by the backend. I reckon, there’s a timer in frontend JavaScript to not display scores until the timer hits 0.
It was a GET call to endpoint below.
