Backend Skills Test

In this exercise you'll create a simple REST API Server that will accept a file and manipulate the data:

Rules of the test:

• Use a Backend Framework of your choice: (Django, Flask, from scratch...)
• For your convenience we have a base install of Django and Flask pre installed in this repo.
• We run on a minimum python version of 3.6.

REST API Server Requirements

• Create an endpoint /api/palindrome/bulk.
  • In the root of this repo you will see a palindromes.txt file.
  • This endpoint should accept the file, parse the values, validate the strings, and return whether or not each string is a palindrome.
• Create an endpoint /api/palindrome/:string.
  • this endpoint should accept a single string and return whether or not the string is a palindrome.

Bonus Objectives

• Extra: Leverage a persistent storage mechanism to save each string that is submitted to /api/palindrome/:string.
• Extra: Create an endpoint /api/palindrome/history that will return the values of the historic API calls to /api/palindrome/:string
• Extra: Add unit test to your REST API server.

Definitions:

A palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward. Example: Otto.

Notes

If you have any extra time feel free to add any extra features or improvements you would like.
