Restify

A Mongodb RESTful interface

Requirements

• Mongodb
• Python
• flask
• pymongo

Usage

Querying:

curl -X GET \
     <host>/classes/<class_name>

or

curl -X GET \
     <host>/classes/<class_name>?where=<mongodb_query>

example mongodb query

curl -X GET \
     <host>/classes/<class_name>?where={'name': 'Jesse'}

Creating objects:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"name": "Jesse", "age": 21}' \
     <host>/classes/<class_name>

Updating objects:

curl -X PUT \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"$set": {"name": "Jesse Panganiban"}}' \
     <host>/classes/<class_name>/<object_id>

Deleting objects:

curl -X DELETE \
     <host>/classes/<class_name>/<object_id>

See http://www.mongodb.org for queries and updating objects (modifiers).

TODO

Here's a list of things to do. Fork me! :)

• Authentication
• ACL (Access Control List)
• Controller Tests
• Multiple DBs in single instance
• Use gevent.pywsgi (Check if pymongo is gevent safe)
