# Hackathons and ML competitions search

> Search active hackathons and machine-learning competitions across Kaggle, Devpost, MLH, HackerEarth, and other curated sources.

Arka searches **hackathons and ML competitions** across curated platforms using DuckDuckGo site-biased queries.

## Natural language

```bash theme={null}
arka find hackathons for computer vision
arka show me kaggle competitions for NLP
arka search competitions for time series forecasting
arka list competition data sources
```

## CLI commands

## Requirements

Competition search needs the chat extra (DuckDuckGo search):

```bash theme={null}
pip install 'arka-agent[chat]'
```

<Note>
  Stock "competition" queries (peer analysis, rivals) route to the stock skill — not this search.
