API Bouncer is a simple Django app to provide an API Gateway for micro-services.

It's heavily inspired by Kong

• Python (3.5, 3.6)
• Django (1.10, 1.11)
• Django Rest Framework (3.6)
• PostgreSQL (9.4+)
• psycopg2 (2.5.4+)

Add "api_bouncer" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        # all other Django apss you have...
        'api_bouncer',
    ]

Activate the key-auth plugin by adding the middleware on your settings.py:

    MIDDLEWARE = [
        # all other middleware...
        'api_bouncer.middleware.bouncer.BouncerMiddleware',  # required
        'api_bouncer.middleware.key_auth.KeyAuthMiddleware',
    ]

Important! Note that you need to include BouncerMiddleware before the rest of plugin middleware. Otherwise it will not work.

Include the api_bouncer URLconf in your project urls.py like this:

    url(r'^', include('api_bouncer.urls', namespace='api_bouncer')),

Run python manage.py migrate to create the api_bouncer models.
