Full Python Code for UUID Server

from flask import Flask, jsonify
import uuid

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/generate", methods=["GET"])
def generate_uuid():
    """
    Generates a random UUID and returns it as JSON.
    """
    uuid_str = str(uuid.uuid4())
    return jsonify({"uuid": uuid_str})

@app.route("/generate-many/<int:count>", methods=["GET"])
def generate_many_uuids(count):
    """
    Generates multiple UUIDs and returns them as JSON.
    """
    if count < 1 or count > 100:
        return jsonify({"error": "Invalid count. Must be between 1 and 100."}), 400
    uuids = [str(uuid.uuid4()) for _ in range(count)]
    return jsonify({"uuids": uuids})

@app.route("/", methods=["GET"])
def index():
    """
    Returns a welcome message with instructions.
    """
    return """
    <h1>UUID Generator Server</h1>
    <p>Endpoints:</p>
    <ul>
        <li><b>Generate Single UUID:</b> <code>/generate</code></li>
        <li><b>Generate Multiple UUIDs:</b> <code>/generate-many/&lt;count&gt;</code></li>
    </ul>
    """

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=5000, debug=True)

How It Works

1. Endpoints:

   • /generate: Generates a single UUID and returns it as JSON.
   • /generate-many/<count>: Generates multiple UUIDs (up to 100) and returns them as JSON.
   • /: Displays a simple HTML page with instructions.

2. UUID Generation:

   • The uuid.uuid4() function generates a random UUID.
   • Multiple UUIDs are generated using a list comprehension.

3. Run the Server:

   • The Flask app runs on 0.0.0.0:5000 by default.

Running the Server

1. Save the code to a file, e.g., uuid_server.py.

2. Run the server:

   python uuid_server.py

3. Access the server in your browser or via curl:

   • Single UUID:

     curl http://localhost:5000/generate

     Output:

     {
       "uuid": "f9b8a7c6-d5e4-4f3a-8b2c-1d0e9f8a7b6c"
     }

   • Multiple UUIDs:

     curl http://localhost:5000/generate-many/5

     Output:

     {
       "uuids": [
         "f9b8a7c6-d5e4-4f3a-8b2c-1d0e9f8a7b6c",
         "e5d4c3b2-a1f0-4e9d-8c7b-6a5d4e3f2a1b",
         "d4e3f2a1-b0c9-8d7e-6f5a-4b3c2d1e0f9a",
         "c3b2a1f0-e9d8-7c6b-5a4d-3e2f1a0b9c8d",
         "b2a1c0d9-e8f7-6a5b-4c3d-2e1f0a9b8c7d"
       ]
     }

Notes

• Limitation: The /generate-many endpoint is limited to a maximum of 100 UUIDs per request to prevent abuse.
• Deployment: You can deploy this server using Gunicorn, Docker, or any other deployment method.

Let me know if you need help deploying or extending this server!
