Blockchain API

I wanted to understand the whole idea behind blockchain so built this to clear concepts

How to run

• Create a virtual environment mkvirtualenv [envname] or mkvirtualenv -p <python_version> <env_name>

• pip3 install -r requirements.txt

• Set FLASK_APP by export FLASK_APP=app.py

• Use Postman or cURL to play with the API (http requests)

Sources

• This is what I referred to build this out and this is what the author may have used and reading through it was fun.

• The following were very insightful:

  • This stackoverflow question's answer was just amazing

  • This was cool too

Further Work?

• Dockerize this API

• Separation of concerns - move all the routes into a different file other than the main app file, basically use what Flask offers me
