This app shows a list of movies on localhost:8000/movies/ from the Ghibli API. For each movie, it lists the people that are in it.

Features:

• Succesful calls to the Ghibli API are cached for 1 minute.
• Returns HTTP 500 when unable to connect to the Ghibli API.
• Requests to the Ghibli API time out after 10 seconds.
• Extensive testsuite, without any use of Mock, MagicMock or patch.

Limitations:

• Not threadsafe.
• Request exceptions are not cached. So if the Ghibli API is down, we keep hitting it when the user refreshes (maybe this is a feature?).
• Doesn't use the 'limit' parameter of the Ghibli API, because the API doesn't seem to support pagination anyway.

Run the server:

FLASK_DEBUG=1 FLASK_RUN_PORT=8000 flask run

Testing:

pytest test.py -s

Development:

Run black8 for pep8-compliance (with default settings, so 88 max line length).
