geeksforgeeksapi's Issues

Add a 'fromBabbar450Sheet' boolean parameter with individual questions.

We all know about Love Babbar's DSA Sheet of 450 Questions.
We've seen wonderful web-apps coming on this topic. To help developers, we can add a boolean parameter of fromBabbar450Sheet with each of the questions served by our API.

Currently

"questions": [ 
 {
    "question": "Height of Binary Tree",
    "link": "https://practice.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/height-of-binary-tree/1"
 },
 {
    "question": "Reverse a String",
    "link": "https://practice.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/reverse-a-string/1"
 }

What it should look like

"questions": [ 
 {
    "question": "Height of Binary Tree",
    "link": "https://practice.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/height-of-binary-tree/1",
    "fromBabbar450Sheet": true
 },
 {
    "question": "Reverse a String",
    "link": "https://practice.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/reverse-a-string/1",
    "fromBabbar450Sheet": false
 }

Receiving "error": "Profile Not Found" even on correct username

this is iam getting which is my correct username. Please Check @arnoob16

Root route i.e. '/' shows Error 404.

Description

When the user tries to access the root route, i.e. '/' an error 404 page is rendered.
You can recreate the behaviour by going to this URL -> https://geeks-for-geeks-api.vercel.app/

Screenshots

Ideal Behaviour

The route should redirect the user to the repository URL, i.e. https://github.com/arnoob16/GeeksForGeeksAPI/

Typo in documentation

app.py is named as server.py in documentation. Please check it once.
