How can I implement authentication logging in Flask RESTful?

You can implement authentication logging in Flask RESTful by using middleware to log requests and responses.

What libraries do I need for logging?

You can use the built-in logging module in Python along with Flask's Flask-RESTful extension.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import logging
from flask import Flask, request
from flask_restful import Api, Resource

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

class AuthResource(Resource):
    def post(self):
        logging.info(f'User {request.json.get('username')} logged in.')
        return {'message': 'Logged in successfully'}, 200

api.add_resource(AuthResource, '/login')

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

How can I customize the logging format?

You can customize the logging format by modifying the basicConfig method, like this:

logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s', level=logging.INFO)
