How can I implement logging in a Flask API?

You can use Python's built-in logging module. First, import it and configure it in your Flask app.

What configuration should I use for logging?

You can set the logging level to DEBUG for development and INFO for production. Here's a basic setup:

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

How do I log requests and responses?

You can use Flask's before_request and after_request decorators to log incoming requests and outgoing responses.

Can I log to a file instead of the console?

Yes, you can specify a file handler in your logging configuration. For example:

file_handler = logging.FileHandler('app.log')
logging.getLogger().addHandler(file_handler)
