Create your own API

• Create an API using Python and Flask
• Create a GET and a POST endpoint
• Use curl to interact with your API

• In your back end API, create a variable called current_value and set it to 0;
• Create a GET request with path "/value" that returns the current_value variable via JSON
• There are no inputs for this GET request
• The output of this GET request should be the count in JSON:

{
  "current_value": 7
}

• Create a POST request with path "/value" that sets the current_value variable via JSON
• There is a single input called "current_value" that must be sent via JSON

{
  "current_value": 10
}

• There is a single output saying that the command was successful using JSON

{
  "message": "The command was successful"
}
