APIGuard

Token system to protect your API

APIGuard is an API protection system developed to ensure secure access to your web services. Using token-based authentication, APIGuard allows developers to protect sensitive API endpoints in a simple and efficient way.

Install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

create database:

python3 manage.py cretate_database

create superuser

python3 manage.py create_superuser

run

python3 main.py

Example of a script consuming data from a token-protected api

>>> import requests
>>> 
>>> TOKEN = 'f20e94eb-d573-444a-86fb-1dd1e359008b'
>>> 
>>> url = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/data'
>>> headers = {'Authorization': TOKEN}
>>> response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
>>> 
>>> print(response.json())
{'data': 'here is the protected data'}
>>> 

If the token is wrong it will not receive the data and will return an error

>>> import requests
>>> 
>>> TOKEN = 'f20e94eb-d573-44fsdfdsf6f56sdfdsfb'
>>> 
>>> url = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/data'
>>> headers = {'Authorization': TOKEN}
>>> response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
>>> 
>>> print(response.json())
{'message': 'Invalid token'}
>>>
