flask-mini-api 0.1.1

A lightweight wrapper around Flask with built-in Cloudflare tunneling and colored logging.

Flask Mini API

A powerful, lightweight wrapper around Flask designed for rapid development. It completely eliminates boilerplate code and comes with built-in colored logging, simplified routing, security decorators, and instant Cloudflare tunneling.

Features

• 🚀 Instant Webhook/API: Minimal setup required.
• 🌍 Built-in Cloudflare Tunnel: Expose your local server to the internet instantly using cloudflare=True.
• 🎨 Beautiful Colored Logging: Replaces default ugly Werkzeug logs with clean, timed, and colored terminal outputs.
• 🛡️ Decorators out-of-the-box: Easy @rate_limit, @cache, @require_key, and @require_json_fields.
• 🗄️ Memory Store: A built-in key-value memory store for fast prototyping without setting up a database.

Installation

pip install flask-mini-api

Quick Start Example

from flask_mini_api.flask_api import app, routes, run_app, require_key, rate_limit

1. Simple API Route (Automatically returns JSON)

routes.api_route("ping", lambda: {"status": "ok", "message": "Pong!"})

2. Advanced Route with rate limiting and API Key protection

@require_key("my-secret-key-123") @rate_limit(max_requests=5, per_seconds=60) def get_secure_data(): return {"data": "This is highly classified"}

routes.api_route("secure", get_secure_data)

3. Start the server (Starts locally and opens a public Cloudflare URL!)

if name == "main": run_app(p=5000, cloudflare=True) Advanced Features Route Groups Need to prefix your routes like /api/v1/? Use route_group:

from flask_mini_api.flask_api import route_group

api_v1 = route_group("/api/v1") api_v1.api_route("users", lambda: {"users": ["Alice", "Bob"]}) In-Memory Database For fast prototyping, you don't need Redis. Use the built-in store:

from flask_mini_api.flask_api import store

store.set("server_status", "maintenance") print(store.get("server_status")) Maintenance Mode Easily lock down your API with one function (returns 503 for all endpoints except /health):

from flask_mini_api.flask_api import maintenance_mode
