Develop lightweight Flask APIs with routing, blueprints, database integration, authentication, and request/response handling. Use when building RESTful APIs, microservices, or lightweight web services with Flask.

Create efficient Flask APIs with blueprints for modular organization, SQLAlchemy for ORM, JWT authentication, comprehensive error handling, and proper request validation following REST principles.
Minimal working example:
# app.py
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from flask_cors import CORS
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from flask_jwt_extended import JWTManager
import os
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = os.getenv('DATABASE_URL', 'sqlite:///app.db')
app.config['JWT_SECRET_KEY'] = os.getenv('JWT_SECRET_KEY', 'dev-secret')
app.config['JSON_SORT_KEYS'] = False
db = SQLAlchemy(app)
jwt = JWTManager(app)
CORS(app)
# Request ID middleware
@app.before_request
def assign_request_id():
import uuid
request.request_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
# Error handlers
@app.errorhandler(400)
def bad_request(error):
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
