Readit API

Overview

This specification defines the enterprise-grade application programming interface (API) for the "Readit" Book Reading Tracking Application. The API is designed to provide a robust and scalable platform for integrating with mobile applications, enabling users to seamlessly manage their reading experience.

Key Features

  • Secure Authentication: Industry-standard authentication and authorization mechanisms ensure the confidentiality and integrity of user data.
  • Comprehensive Book Management: CRUD operations for books, including reading lists, finished books, and wish lists.
  • Detailed Progress Tracking: Granular tracking of reading progress, including page count, annotations, and timestamps.
  • Extensibility: Flexible design allows for future enhancements and integrations to meet evolving business requirements.

Architecture

  • Backend: Django REST Framework with a focus on code efficiency and maintainability.
  • Testing: Rigorous test suite using pytest to ensure API reliability and stability.

Security Considerations

  • Encryption: All sensitive data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
  • Authentication: JWT tokens are used for session management, ensuring secure access to API resources.
  • Authorization: Access control mechanisms enforce role-based permissions, restricting unauthorized access to data.

Future Roadmap

  • Integration with Third-Party Services: Support for external services such as book recommendations and social media platforms.
  • Analytics and Reporting: Dashboard and reporting capabilities for tracking API usage and identifying areas for improvement.
