Flask APIs

This repository contains a set of APIs used by multiple UI projects to demonstrate basic API usage. This is basically a sort of broker for the JSONPlaceholder APIs, adding a layer of authentication to them. While this repository has a limited number of routes at present, I'm occasionally working on expanding the scope of it.
