Pretty early in development – but it works very well

The aim of this project is to make it easier to create a manageable, public API for your site. Be aware that this project in no way seeks to help you create an underlying API – that's up to you.
This project tries to be language agnostic. django_api doesn't care what language your API is originally written in. It only acts as a gateway between the user and the underlying API.
Current features: - Transparent API proxy for external developers / users - Automatic documentation for each API method (with automatic sample usage in Python) - API rate limiting - Usage monitoring (currently through the admin, not good enough)
Planned features: - Users should be able to apply for API keys, as they can using other services (e.g. Mashery) - Dedicated API admin panel - Transparent caching layers for intensive and much-used methods
- Django 1.0 (or trunk)
- simplejson
-
Add the 'django_api' directory somewhere on your 'PYTHONPATH'
-
Put 'django_api' into 'INSTALLED_APPS' in your projects' settings file.
-
Open django_api/app_settings.py and either fill out your settings there, or add them to your global settings file.
-
Add this line to your Django project's urlconf: url(r'^api/', include('django_api.urls')),
Then go to the admin interface and add your URLs! :)
