This is a simple foundation for building API's using Eve.
setup.sh contains basic instructions for setting up mongo (as the backend for the API) and redis (to allow rate-limiting on the API). This script may not be complete and may not work for you (I primarily intend this as a guideline to memorialize some of the tips and tricks I learned while setting up an API).
A similar template with simple authentication can be found here: https://github.com/agenoria/eve-rest-api-authentication-template.
The setup for the API itself is based on the Eve quickstart.
Once you have the API up and running, here are some helpful queries:
GET:
curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/people
POST:
curl -d '[{"firstname": "bugs", "lastname": "bunny"}, {"firstname": "robrigo", "lastname": "soler"}]' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1:5000/people
DELETE:
curl -X DELETE -H 'If-Match: <etag_of_entity>' http://127.0.0.1:5000/people/<id_of_entity>
PUT:
curl -X PUT -d '{"firstname": "b", "lastname": "bunny"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'If-Match: <etag_of_entity>' http://127.0.0.1:5000/people/<id_of_entity>
