Deploying a Flask API

Endpoints

GET '/': This is a simple health check, which returns the response 'Healthy'.

POST '/auth': This takes a email and password as json arguments and returns a JWT based on a custom secret.

GET '/contents': This requires a valid JWT, and returns the un-encrpyted contents of that token.

The app relies on a secret set as the environment variable JWT_SECRET to produce a JWT. The built-in Flask server is adequate for local development. For production use Gunicorn server when deploying the app.
