Very slim, Flask-based RESTful API surface (acting as fixtures/mocks provider)

just do it

• API surface, basically acting as a mock provider
• basic modularisation, based on routing namespaces (see API endpoints definitions #1)
• at least a single request cycle fully covered
• basic functional tests in place (leveraging pytest) <- could be derived to a dedicated issue

Possible endpoint internals:

router          <- method + URL
authentication  <- middleware
controller      <- function/class
  request         <- object
  command         <- pattern
    validation      <- rules
    CRUD/search     <- models
    authorization   <- throwing exception
    quota           <- filter
  response        <- object
logger          <- middleware

In this request -> ... -> response chain, almost everything is optional.
