NLP Posts Backend

A Flask-based backend service that provides an API to serve Natural Language Processing (NLP) posts. The API delivers paginated data without reliance on a database, ensuring simplicity, performance, and ease of deployment.

Features

  • RESTful API: A straightforward API for accessing NLP-related posts.
  • Pagination Support: Handles large data effectively by providing paginated responses.
  • JSON Responses: Returns clean, consumable JSON data for integration with frontend applications.
  • Stateless and Lightweight: No database - posts are fetched from an in-memory structure or static file.
  • Minimal Dependencies: A pure Flask project to ensure easy setup and maintenance.

Technologies Used

  • Python 3.x: Programming language for the backend development.
  • Flask: A minimal and lightweight Python web framework.
  • Flask-RESTful: For building clean RESTful APIs.

Installation

Follow these steps to set up and run the project locally:

  1. Clone the repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/softdev629/nlp-explained-backend.git
  2. Navigate to the project directory: 
    cd nlp-explained-backend
  3. Set up a virtual environment (optional but recommended): 
    python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate      # On Linux/macOS
env\Scripts\activate         # On Windows
  4. Install the required dependencies: 
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  5. Run the Flask application: 
    python app.py

Future Improvements

  • Add support for dynamic updates to the static dataset (e.g., file-based modifications).
  • Implement advanced filtering and searching for NLP posts.
  • Add authentication and rate limiting for secured access.
  • Extend to a microservice architecture if required for scaling.
