API Documentation is available on Swagger UI

A test server is available on https://api.guessit.io. This server has a small API rate limit, so if you really need a GuessIt REST API, you have to host it on your own server.

usage: guessitrest [-h] [-l LISTENING_ADRESS] [-p LISTENING_PORT]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l LISTENING_ADRESS, --listening-adress LISTENING_ADRESS
                        Listening IP Adress of the HTTP Server.
  -p LISTENING_PORT, --listening-port LISTENING_PORT
                        Listening TCP Port of the HTTP Server.

flask-restful

This project currently use a fork of flask-restful. See flask-restful/flask-restful#645.

As a workaround, we use a copy of the forked flask-restul module to make it available from sources.

You can still run REST API with original flask-restful, but using POST with multiple filenames on `/list/` resource is broken.
