REST API Server

Server made using Flask with GET request functionality. When called the server sends an HTTP response with the required RESTful headers and caching functionality using Flask-Caching.

I wrote this server for the purpose of bettering my understanding of REST API, and to explain REST in an article on Code & Jobs.

How to Run the Project

Run the server

In the rest_api_server directory run:

pipenv install

pipenv shell

python app.py

Make a GET request with curl

Now open a new terminal and run:

curl -v http://127.0.0.1:5001
