A2Billing-Flask-API

Flexible & Fast Restful APIs framework for A2Billing powered by Flask & Peewee. A2Billing-Flask-API comes with some tools for exposing your A2Billing models via a RESTful API.

Each RestFul APIs exposed supports the following:

/api/<model name>/ – GET and POST requests

/api/<model name>/<primary key>/ – GET, PUT and DELETE requests

Also, you can filter results by columns on the model. For example:

/api/cardgroup/?name=Some%20Blog

Admin Panel

An Admin Panel is provided which can be accessed at http://<ip_address>:8008/admin/

You will need an admin username and password to login, see the section below on how to create an admin user.

Requirements

This Application is build using Flask and Peewee:

Stress Test

Use ab, the Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool

Usage:

ab -c 100 -n 1000 -p test/post.txt -T application/x-www-form-urlencoded http://localhost:8008/api/cardgroup/

Install & Deployment

There are many ways to deploy a Flask Application, we will describe the Apache Method here as this is the one more suitable for A2Billing users.

Reference: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-deploy-a-flask-application-on-an-ubuntu-vps

Security

Edit a2billing_flaskapi.py and change the secret key and keep this really secret:

app.secret_key = 'ssshhhh-and-changeme-when-deploying'

Create an Admin User

We now have a functioning admin site, you can login with user / password: admin / admin

Change immediately the default password by a strong password!!!

You might want to create an other admin user from shell, to do so open up an interactive python shell in the directory alongside the app and run the following:

$ cd /usr/share/a2billing-flask-api/
$ workon a2billing-flask-api
$ python

Then in Python interpreter, type the following:

from a2billing_flask_api import auth
auth.User.create_table(fail_silently=True)  # make sure table created.
admin = auth.User(username='admin', email='', admin=True, active=True)
admin.set_password('admin')
admin.save()
