A python-flask based web app leveraging on google cloud and kubernetes engine. The app is implements user based policies and hence requires users to sign up before using the same as the user based content management is implemented. It randomly chooses a pokemon and queries the cassandra database set up in the Google Cloud to collect the details of the pokemon and displays it dynamically. It also compliments the functionality by using an external pokemon api pokeapi to show the image of the pokemon.

Due to the recent increased prevelance of powerful hardware, such as modern GPUs, hashes have become increasingly easy to crack. A proactive solution to this is to use a hash that was designed to be "de-optimized".

The user access system uses flask-hashing for hashing of user passwords in a local database using SHA256 algorithm. It can also be extended to md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, and sha512. By default, HASHING_METHOD defaults to sha256 and HASHING_ROUNDS defaults to 1. The user credentials and info are stored in a local scalable SQLITE3.

If you are using anything less than Python 2.7.9 you will only have the guaranteed functions provided by hashlib. Python 2.7.9 or higher allows access to OpenSSL hash functions. The name you supply to HASHING_METHOD must be valid to hashlib. To get a list of valid names, supply a random string to HASHING_METHOD and check the output when initializing your application (it raises and exception), or check hashlib.algorithms for Python 2.7.8 or less, or hashlib.algorithms_available if using Python 2.7.9+.

1. Create a file called config.py in the same directory as your app.py.
2. Create a variable with a strong secret hashing password for example

token = `jabdadbhA4576GJLKDSHHOAUI.3KSDFH_75`

It is a constraint of the REST application architecture that keeps the RESTful style architecture unique from most other network application architectures. The term “hypermedia” refers to any content that contains links to other forms of media such as images, movies, and text.

This architectural style lets you use hypermedia links in the response contents so that the client can dynamically navigate to the appropriate resource by traversing the hypermedia links. This is conceptually the same as a web user navigating through web pages by clicking the appropriate hyperlinks in order to achieve a final goal.

When you try to make a get request like Based on the id, It queries the database and creates a dynamic JSON.

http://35.242.189.172/pokemon/36

It will return JSON in the form

{ POKEMON : Pikeachu Attack : 56 Defence : 78 Speed : 78 }
