Flask RESTful API Boilerplate (By Wyn)

This is a boilerplate project for building RESTful APIs using Flask and Flask-RESTful. It provides a solid foundation and a set of best practices to kickstart your API development.

Note: I use this boilerplate for my work projects. It might not be suitable for other use cases without modifications.

Features

• Flask and Flask-RESTful for building RESTful APIs
• SQLAlchemy for database management
• JWT authentication using cookies for secure API access
