It loads job definitions and scheduler settings from your Flask app config, provides a REST API to query and control running jobs, and supports optional authentication for that API. It also integrates with Flask Blueprints for modular application structures.\n\nThe package is classified as Production/Stable and supports Python 3 only. However, it has been dormant since 2023-11-07 with no recent updates, so it may not be compatible with the latest versions of Flask or APScheduler. It has no explicit runtime dependencies listed in its metadata, suggesting those are handled transitively or assumed to be installed separately.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need basic APScheduler integration with Flask and can tolerate dormant maintenance. The package is stable and permissively licensed, but given the extended gap since the last release, verify compatibility with your Flask and APScheduler versions before committing. If you need active maintenance or support for very recent library versions, consider whether a more actively maintained alternative exists."},"id":"flask-apscheduler","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-apscheduler","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-apscheduler.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-apscheduler/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-11-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Flask-APScheduler","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Adds APScheduler support to Flask"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":277960,"position":8140,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.13.1"}
