Getting Started

Base URL: At present this app can only be run locally and is not hosted as a base URL. The backend app is hosted at the default, http://127.0.0.1:5000/, which is set as a proxy in the frontend configuration.

Authentication: This version of the application does not require authentication or API keys. Error Handling Errors are returned as JSON objects in the following format:

{
"success": False,
"error": 400,
"message": "bad request"
}

There are 2 ways errors will be sent to the client:

1. These are the http error codes. The API will return three error types when requests fail in the format presented above:

400: Bad Request 404: Resource Not Found 422: Not Processable 405: Method Not Allowed

2. The status_code is 200 but the error is stated in the body of the response. The format is as stated below:

{
"success": False,
"message": "item exists in database. no duplicate items allowed"
}
