Eve. The Simple Way to REST¶

Version 1.1.2.

Eve is an open source Python REST API framework designed for human beings. It allows to effortlessly build and deploy highly customizable, fully featured RESTful Web Services.

Eve is powered by Flask and Cerberus and it offers native support for MongoDB data stores. Support for SQL, Elasticsearch and Neo4js backends is provided by community extensions.

The codebase is thoroughly tested under Python 2.7, 3.5+, and PyPy.

Note The use of Python 3 is highly preferred over Python 2. Consider upgrading your applications and infrastructure if you find yourself still using Python 2 in production today.

Eve is Simple¶ from eve import Eve settings = { 'DOMAIN' : { 'people' : {}}} app = Eve ( settings = settings ) app . run () The API is now live, ready to be consumed: $ curl -i http://example.com/people HTTP/1.1 200 OK All you need to bring your API online is a database, a configuration file (defaults to settings.py ) or dictionary, and a launch script. Overall, you will find that configuring and fine-tuning your API is a very simple process.
