Fun with Flask

I am learning Flask and creating some nice REST API's at home and work. Here is one I recently built for fun.

bikesaledemo

A Flask API Bicycle sales API demo code

Intro

Learning about Flask and creating nice REST API's

Reasoning

I like bikes, and I like Python.

Install

I wrote it for Python 3.5, but it may work in Python 2.7 YMMV

git clone https://github.com/bitsofjeremy/bikesaledemo.git
cd bikesaledemo
pip install requirements.txt
python app.py

Open http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in browser of choice.

note: it will be empty on start up

API Resources:

GET A BIKE AND/OR BIKES

To return all bikes in memory: curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5000/
To return a specific bike id (i.e. bike1) curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5000/bike1

POST A BIKE

Requires: bicycle, year, color, size, and price

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5000/bike1 -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"bicycle": "Trek 930","year": "1995","color": "blue/green","size": "21 inches","price": 549.99}'

PUT UPDATE A BIKE, ALSO CREATE IF NONE EXIST

Requires: bicycle, year, color, size, and price

curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5000/bike1 -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"bicycle": "Trek 930","year": "1995","color": "blue/green","size": "21 inches","price": 249.99}'

DELETE A BIKE

curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:5000/bike1

Conclusion

This is just a demo to practice Flask and Flask-restful
