Description

Currently we only generate the image based on the details the user provides, this is manual procedure and it needs to be improved. Instead we could connect to the Codeforces API and take the ratings from there and keep updating it at specific interval. This also means that we need some storage, where the image will be automatically update without changing its accessing link.

For CodeChef we can follow the usual scraping methods, it would be simple since we only need to extract the ratings and the handle name (which can also be simply obtained from the profile link itself).

Finally instead of providing the user not only the image, we will provide him a url of the image (which won't change even though we change the image later).

Research direction

The issue describes connecting to the Codeforces API and scraping CodeChef for ratings, then storing and auto-updating images. Start by examining the existing image generation code to understand the current manual flow. Look for API client setup, scheduling logic, and storage for persistent image URLs. Check if there are any existing tests for image generation to understand the expected output format.
