REST API Access Toolkit Documentation

This module provides authenticated endpoints for managing platform data through a RESTful API. Below are example implementations for different components.

1. FastAPI Endpoint Example (User Management)

# UserManagement.py
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException
from typing import Annotated
from pydantic import BaseModel

router = APIRouter()
user_router = APIRouter(prefix="/users", tags=["users"])

class CreateUser(BaseModel):
    name: str
    email: str
    role: str
    active: bool

@user_router.post("/", dependencies=[Depends(authenticationMiddleware)])
async def create_user(user_data: CreateUser):
    """
    Creates a new user in the system.
    
    Args:
        user_data (CreateUser): User data to be created
        
    Returns:
        dict: Created user with id and other details
    """
    try:
        # Assume database operations here
        return {"status": "success", "data": {"id": 1, **user_data.dict()}}
    except Exception as e:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))

2. React UI Example (User Management Dashboard)

# UsersDashboard.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';

function UsersList() {
    const [users, setUsers] = useState([]);
    const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
    const [error, setError] = useState(null);

    useEffect(() => {
        const fetchUsers = async () => {
            try {
                const response = await axios.get('http://localhost:8000/api/users', {
                    headers: {
                        'Authorization': `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem('token')}`
                    }
                });
                
                setUsers(response.data);
                setLoading(false);
            } catch (err) {
                setError(err.message);
                setLoading(false);
            }
        };

        fetchUsers();
    }, []);

    return (
        <div>
            {loading ? (
                <p>Loading...</p>
            ) : error ? (
                <p>Error: {error}</p>
            ) : (
                <div className="users-list">
                    {users.map((user) => (
                        <div key={user.id}>
                            <h3>{user.name}</h3>
                            <p>Email: {user.email}</p>
                            <p>Role: {user.role}</p>
                            <p>Status: {user.active ? 'Active' : 'Inactive'}</p>
                        </div>
                    ))}
                </div>
            )}
        </div>
    );
}

export default UsersList;

3. Pydantic Data Schema Example (User Model)

# models.py
from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr
from typing import Optional

class User(BaseModel):
    id: int
    name: str
    email: EmailStr
    role: str = "user"
    active: bool = True
    created_at: Optional[str] = None
    updated_at: Optional[str] = None

# Example usage:
# user_data = User(
#     name="John Doe",
#     email="john@example.com",
#     role="admin",
#     active=False
# )

Examples

Creating a New User

{
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "john@example.com",
    "role": "user",
    "active": true
}

Updating an Existing User

{
    "name": "Jane Smith",
    "email": "jane@example.com",
    "role": "admin",
    "active": false
}

Integration Tips

Configuration Options

ParameterTypeDefault ValueDescription
enable_authbooleantrueEnables authentication for all API endpoints.
auth_token_expirationinteger3600Sets the expiration time (in seconds) for authentication tokens.
rate_limit_per_secondinteger10Limits the number of requests a single user can make per second.
enable_loggingbooleantrueEnables logging for all API requests and responses.
allowed_originsstring array[]Specifies allowed origins for CORS (use ”*” for public APIs).
require_admin_accessbooleanfalseRestricts access to endpoints unless the user has admin privileges.

Example Integration Code

1. Enabling Authentication

# Configuration example in Python
config = {
    "enable_auth": True,
    "auth_token_expiration": 3600,  # 1 hour
    "allowed_origins": ["*"],  # Allow all origins for development purposes
}

2. Setting Up Rate Limits

# Configuration example in Python
from flask import Flask
from flask_api_rate_limiting import rate_limiter

app = Flask(__name__)
rate_limiter.init(app, key_func=lambda x: x.remote_addr, limit=10, per=1)

3. Enabling Logging

# Configuration example in Python
import logging
from logging.handlers import RotatingFileHandler

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s',
)
handler = RotatingFileHandler('api.log', maxBytes=1024*1024, backupCount=3)
app.logger.addHandler(handler)

Conclusion

The REST API Access Toolkit provides a robust and secure way to manage platform data via authenticated endpoints. By integrating related modules like User Management, Rate Limiting, and Logging, developers can ensure their APIs are both functional and secure. Proper configuration of parameters such as authentication, rate limiting, and logging will help optimize performance and security for your platform.
