    "model": "user",
    "next": "",
    "page": 1,
    "previous": ""
  },
  "objects": [
    {
      "username": "admin",
      "admin": true,
      "email": "",
      "join_date": "2025-09-16 18:34:49",
      "active": true,
      "id": 1
    },
    {
      "username": "coleifer",
      "admin": false,
      "email": "coleifer@gmail.com",
      "join_date": "2025-09-16 18:35:56",
      "active": true,
      "id": 2
    }
  ]
}

installing

pip install flask-peewee

example app

the project ships with an example app, which is a silly twitter clone. to start the example app, cd into the “example” directory and execute the run_example.py script:

cd example/
python run_example.py

if you would like to test out the admin area, log in as “admin/admin” and navigate to:

http://127.0.0.1:5000/admin/

you can check out the REST api at the following url:
