How can I implement authentication and logging in a Flask RESTful API?

You can use Flask-HTTPAuth for authentication and Flask-Logging for logging. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for basic token authentication.

Here's a simple example:

from flask import Flask, request
from flask_httpauth import HTTPTokenAuth
import logging

app = Flask(__name__)
auth = HTTPTokenAuth(scheme='Bearer')

# Set up logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

@auth.verify_token
def verify_token(token):
    # Logic to verify token
    return token == 'your_token'

@app.route('/api/resource')
@auth.login_required
def get_resource():
    app.logger.info('Resource accessed')
    return {'data': 'This is your resource'}

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

This sets up a basic API with token authentication and logging.

How do I handle logging for failed authentication attempts?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

You can log failed attempts in the verify_token function. For example:

@auth.verify_token
def verify_token(token):
    if token != 'your_token':
        app.logger.warning('Failed authentication attempt with token: %s', token)
        return None
    return token
This is how a conversation with MagicBuddy looks like...
