Upon checking these emails, I realized what I did. It's a different company but with an but with an overlap in name/domain (Serp API/Search API) and similar website where I also applied. As embarrassing as this is, it really happened. I don't want to spread misinformation but can't edit the parent posts anymore. I'll contact the mods if it's possible to just edit/delete them. I'm really sorry.

I obviously withdrew from the interview process already, but what you wrote is either plain untrue or you really do have huge gaps in the process. Here's what I have on my side:

- an entire email conversation (including quiz you sent me, which also took time to respond to) - I obviously used the same name and email domain which can traced back to my profile,

- the emails about initial call I self-scheduled and attended,

- the repo (under your GitHub org), a PR I opened (as requested) and two more emails from me - one was a confirmation of completion of the task and another to touch base after a week of complete silence.

The task was different from the one you linked - to write a scraper which extracts search results from Google page, according to the sample input HTML and expected JSON output that were provided.

They take forever to reply (2 months since my first email, meanwhile they regularly kept posting the job on HN) and after the initial call had me take a home assignment that I spent almost an entire day on, then went total radio silence again - not even a generic "sorry for the delay" or a rejection email. I see I'm not an outlier, given others' comments under their postings. I don't think the job's fake - they just really don't care about their candidates' time.
