Module usage

As an example, here is a snippet of how I use this in some flask applications. This is not a working flask application, don't copy past without understanding it.

import json

from fenkeysmanagement import KeyManager

# ... more imports and flask related code

key_manager = KeyManager()

def check_perms(request):
    data_str = request.data.decode('utf-8')
    try:
        data_json = json.loads(data_str)
        if "auth_key" in data_json.keys():
            key_manager.reload_keys()
            if not key_manager.key_revoked(data_json['auth_key']):
                return True
        return False
    except json.decoder.JSONDecodeError:
        return False

@app.route("/", methods=["POST"])
def home():
    if not check_perms(request):
        # ... code for handle the failed auth verification
    # ... code for handle the real request after correct auth verification
