Overview

The Flask Skeleton API is a simple yet effective starting point for developing backend applications using Flask. Created by the Núcleo de Tecnologia e Inovação do Grupo Ceuma, this skeleton API provides developers with a structured environment to quickly set up their projects. It leverages Cookiecutter for template generation, making it easy to adapt and customize for various applications.

The skeleton offers a straightforward path to building APIs with Flask, complete with useful documentation and tools to support developers throughout the process. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, this framework can help streamline your workflow and improve productivity.
