A simple list server to demonstrate a REST API that can be called from a front end or a third-party application. Uses the Flask web development framework, with username/password for login and SQLAlchemy as an ORM. Based on Flask-Restful.
First install a few things through apt:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install virtualenv
Createa virtual environment:
mkdir ~/virtualenvs
virtualenv ~/virtualenvs/listomatic-flask-server
source ~/virtualenvs/listomatic-flask-server/bin/activate
Install Python requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Copy the configuration file and setup a few important variables:
cp doc/config.py .
The SECRET_KEY is used for securing session state. Generate one
using a Python shell:
python
>>> import os
>>> os.urandom(24)
Copy this value into the SECRET KEY as a string. Next, create a new application for Twitter sign-ons using their developer page.
python app.py
