HalfAPI

This Python-based ASGI application aims to provide the core functionality to multiple API domains.

It's developed at the LIRMM in Montpellier, France.

The name "halfAPI" comes from the deep relationship between it and halfORM, a project authored by Joël Maizi.

You'll need a database with the API details. You can find the database model in halfapi/models/api.sql

TODO : include a token generation tool for testing purpose.
