Python API Server

This is a simple Python API Server using POST to save data to MongoDB and GET requests to receive the data from MongoDB.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• You have installed Python 3.6 or higher.
• You have a basic understanding of Python projects and virtual environments.

Installation

Setting Up a Virtual Environment

To avoid conflicts with other Python projects you may be working on, it's a good idea to use a virtual environment. Here's how you can set one up:

For macOS and Linux:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

For Windows:

python -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate

Installing Dependencies

Once your virtual environment is activated, install the project dependencies by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Application

To start the server, run:

python app.py

Ensure your MongoDB instance is running and accessible as configured in your Python script.

docker run --name mongodb-container -d -p 27017:27017 -v my_mongo_data:/data/db mongo:latest

Using the Application

To interact with the application, you can use the following curl command to create a new item in the database:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/items \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"id": "4", "name": "maziar"}'
