APIs required

[the-dagger]

GET : /get/posts : get all the posts. /get/{user}/bookmarks : get bookmarked posts of a user, sends a UID for a particular user. /get/{vertical}/posts : get posts from a particular vertical /get/{user} : get user's profile (allowing edits is option for now).

POST : login/signup /post/newpost : create a new post, the request body will be a POST object and an auth token. /post/bookmark : add a particular post to bookmarks for a user, request will contain the UID, Auth token and the post ID. /post/unbookmark : remove a particular post from bookmarks for a user (if it already exists), request will contain the UID, Auth token and the post ID.

Response should be in JSON format.

Hi, I'd like to work on this issue if its still available. Are you going to use Firebase Cloud Functions for this or a different Backend server? If so, please tell me the stack you'd be using. I am familiar with NodeJS(ExpressJS apps) and Python (Flask). Thanks!

@the-cybersapien Go ahead. 👍 The server is to be a custom built one and Flask should be a good idea for now.

@the-dagger I've started work on the backend. Created a front end, a few APIs and also integrated Google+ OAuth sign in Front end. Will be working on the remaining APIs and features soon. https://github.com/the-cybersapien/Global-Launchpad-Initiative-Backend

I am not sure how to make the authorisation tokens work with Android Apps, any help on that is appreciated. Will add a README to the project soon with all the details, prerequisites and how to use.

A live on heroku is available here: http://glpi-b.herokuapp.com

Will add documentation to REST APIs as soon as I have implemented an authentication interface for mobile.
