Python based multipurpose API

[Oratorian 41]

I am writing my own API and could use some honest feedback.

Feature List

• Web Application Setup:

  Initialization and configuration of the web application.

  Management of user sessions stored on the server.

• User Authentication:

  Secure access to the application using unique tokens.

  Special handling for a master key that grants higher privileges.

• Rate Limiting:

  Enforcement of usage limits to prevent abuse.

  Custom checks to ensure users do not exceed their allowed requests per hour and per month.

• Security and Encryption:

  Use of encryption to securely manage and store all Data.

• Usage Tracking:

  Monitoring and recording of user activity to enforce rate limits.

  Automatic reset of usage limits on an hourly and monthly basis.

• Modular API Endpoints: ( Based on Flasks blueprint module )

  Delete Key: Allows Master Key to delete API keys.

  Generate Key: Enables Master Key to generate new API keys.

  Health Check: Simple Server Health Endpoint like CPU, RAM, Disk usage

  Service Restart: Allows the Master Key in combination with the encrypted sudo password for restarting certain services on the Host.

  View Keys: Lets Master Key view existing API keys.
  
  The project is maintained on Github, I would appreciate any contribution, feedback  to it.
