Lowball

Lowball is designed to add simple endpoint level RBAC to your Flask based API services.

Overview

Lowball is, at its core, a wrapper around Flask, designed to add authentication and permission management features to Flask's already powerful and modular implementation. Lowball was developed to support three key needs:

1. Easy to use route level RBAC controls.
2. Abstracted authentication providers and databases for easier integration with your operating environment.
3. Ecosystem of 1 - n microservices leveraging a common authentication authority.

Installation

Using pip

pip install lowball

From Source

git clone https://github.com/EmersonElectricCo/lowball
cd ./lowball

A Simple Example

A minimal lowball service looks like this

from lowball import Lowball, require_admin

app = Lowball()

@app.route("/hello", methods=["GET"])
@require_admin
def hello_world():
    return {"hello":"world"}, 200


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()
