Python server framework for quickly building RESTful APIs with minimal effort

Project description

Perseus: RESTful API Server Framework

Perseus is a Python framework for quickly building RESTful API servers with minimal effort.

Perseus provides an initial set of core services that supports the following features:

  • Client application registration with API keys generation
  • Client application access control with RESTful request signature
  • Client application and RESTful API server version compatibility check
  • User authentication and session management
  • Team/group management
  • RESTful request logging with data sensitiveness support
  • RESTful service automatic discovery
  • HTTP request query parameters & body JSON message automatically parsing (depending on the HTTP method used) with data type check and conversion

Perseus is based on Tornado for handling client network connection.

RESTful API Request Handler

from majormode.perseus.service.base_http_handler import HttpRequest
from majormode.perseus.service.base_http_handler import HttpRequestHandler
from majormode.perseus.service.base_http_handler import http_request

import AttendantService


class AttendantServiceHttpRequestHandler(HttpRequestHandler):
    @http_request(r'^/attendant/session$',
                  http_method=HttpRequest.HttpMethod.POST,
                  authentication_required=False,
                  sensitive_data=True,
                  signature_required=False)
    def sign_in(self, request):
        email_address = request.get_argument(
            'email_address',
            data_type=HttpRequest.ArgumentDataType.email_address,
            is_required=True)

        password = request.get_argument(
            'password',
            data_type=HttpRequest.ArgumentDataType.string,
            is_required=True)

        return AttendantService().sign_in(request.app_id, email_address, password)
