APIFlask

Python web API framework built on Flask, with marshmallow or Pydantic schemas and automatic OpenAPI documentation.

APIFlask is a Python web API framework built on Flask. It started as a fork of APIFairy, and its documentation includes migration guides for projects that use Flask or Flask-RESTPlus/Flask-RESTX. The package installs with pip. Its API documentation and OpenAPI generation are features of the framework. The project’s tips page describes running an application behind a reverse proxy such as Nginx, which forwards requests to the process that serves the application.

Worth knowing

APIFlask is a library on top of Flask, so a project that uses it also depends on Flask and its requirements.
