Blueprints for API Modules

Split larger APIs into modules with blueprints.

Blueprints for API Modules

Blueprints let you group related routes without turning the app into one giant file. That becomes especially useful once an API grows beyond a few endpoints.

from flask import Blueprint, jsonify

api = Blueprint('api', __name__, url_prefix='/api')


@api.get('/status')
def status():
    return jsonify(status='ok')

Register the blueprint on the app and keep route groups focused: auth, users, projects, or billing.

Open in the app to mark lessons complete, take notes and track your progress.
