Notes

• All data sent to any endpoint must be JSON. All data returned will likewise be JSON.
• /login and /register require the data to include fields for username and password.
• /paste requires fields for title and content.
• Authenticated endpoints require an Authorization header with value Bearer <TOKEN>, where <TOKEN> is the JSON Web Token returned by /login.

Running the API

For testing purposes, you can simply install the dependencies and run app.py directly:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python app.py

To deploy to a production environment (at your own risk), build a Docker image:

$ docker build -t pasteflask .
$ docker run -p 5000:5000 pasteflask

By default, this API will run on port 5000. To change this, adjust your port mapping when you run the Docker image.
