token-server

How to use this service?

1. Generate tokens using generate_tokens.py. This script generates two files that are identical: original-tokens.txt and tokens.txt.
2. Configure and run Dockerfile.

How does it work?

Run get_token.py to spin up a REST API server. If you are running it on your local machine, going to localhost:5000/token on your browser should get you a token from the pre-generated list of tokens. The API server pops the first entry of tokens.txt and returns to the request, meaning that after each request the number of tokens in tokens.txt will be one token less than before. However, the original-tokens.txt won't change, and one can use it to validate if the tokens that were given out are valid.
