A simplified version of eBay where users are able to view, create, update, and delete item listings within a store. This project is meant to demonstrate the use of REST APIs and how a web application is built from scratch.
The project implements the following additional features:
- User authentication and logging
- SQLite3 database
- Heroku deployment
Note: Currently no web interface has been implemented yet. Therefore to make HTTP requests to the application, Postman is used for interacting and testing.
