It handles content negotiation automatically, allowing clients to request JSON, HTML, or other formats through standard HTTP headers or URL parameters, and renders a human-friendly HTML interface in the browser for GET requests.\n\nThe package has been in production-stable status since its early releases, but it is now abandoned\u2014the last release was June 2023 and there have been no commits since then. It depends only on Flask itself, making installation frictionless, but you should expect no maintenance, bug fixes, or compatibility updates for newer Flask or Python versions.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code already using Flask-API. The package is abandoned with no updates since June 2023, and there is no indication the repository is maintained. For new projects, use modern alternatives like Flask-RESTX or FastAPI that receive active maintenance and support current Python and framework versions."},"id":"flask-api","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-api","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-api.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-api/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-06-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Flask-API","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Browsable web APIs for Flask."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":86876,"position":13830,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.1"}
