A quick howto to setup a flask api that reads from a json file and appends posts. This isn't efficient code nor is it error proof. It's mainly a quick setup for testing purposes.
Create a venv
virtualenv apiVenv
source apiVenv/bin/activate
Install Flask & Flast-restful
pip install flask
pip install flask-restful
Add your data in data.json, and run the api.
python flask-api.py
Get all: curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/list
Get at index: curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/list/0
Post: curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/list -d '{"name":"newName","label":"newLabel"}' -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json"
When using different data, be sure to update the parser in flask-api.py.
parser = reqparse.RequestParser()
parser.add_argument('name')
parser.add_argument('label')
