Fully functional CRUD RESTful API with Flask and SQLAlchemy. CodeCarbon package is installed to track CO2 emissions.

Prerequisites

You need Python installed, you can check it with python command, I have the 3.8 version:

$ python

You also need to have Flask installed (CMD or Powershell in Windows)

How to run the tests

To run the tests in the folder of the same name

python -m unittest discover

Terminal stdout will return electricity used in the test

Run in local

To run the api:

flask run

When the api is started you can call endpoint opening in your browser http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (For example http://127.0.0.1:5000/health). You can check the emissions in your terminal logs and in the emission.csv file.
