This repository provides a framework for working with API tokens securely and efficiently. It is designed to simplify the process of managing tokens for authentication and authorization in web applications.

• Token Management: Generate, validate, and manage API tokens.
• Secure Authentication: Utilizes secure methods to authenticate users and services.
• Integration Ready: Easily integrates with existing Python web applications.
• Customization: Configurable settings to tailor token expiration, revocation, and security.

• Python 3.8 or later
• Required Python libraries (listed in requirements.txt)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Toby1219/API-Token.git
   cd API-Token

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a .env file in the root directory to store sensitive configuration details. Below is an example of what the .env file might include:

SECRETE_KEY=your_secret_key  # Used for Flask session signing
JWT_SECRETE_KEY=your_jwt_secret_key  # Used for signing JWT tokens
DATABASE_URL=your_database_url  # Provide the database connection string
SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATION=False  # Disable SQLAlchemy's event system

1. Start the server:

   flask run

2. Access the application at http://127.0.0.1:5000.

• Token Generation: Generate API tokens for secure communication.
• Token Validation: Validate incoming tokens to ensure proper access control.
• Token Revocation: Revoke tokens when no longer required.
