Python API for Task Management: Create, Retrieve, and Update Tasks

This is a simple Python API for managing tasks, using Flask to handle requests and JSON to exchange data. It provides three primary routes:

• '/add_task': Adds a new task. Accepts a JSON object containing task information.
• '/get_tasks': Retrieves the current list of tasks. Returns a JSON object containing all task information.
• '/update_task': Updates the status of a task. Accepts the task's ID and its new status, updating the corresponding task.

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

tasks = []

@app.route('/add_task', methods=['POST'])
def add_task():
    task = request.get_json()
    tasks.append(task)
    return jsonify({'message': 'Task added successfully'})

@app.route('/get_tasks', methods=['GET'])
def get_tasks():
    return jsonify({'tasks': tasks})

@app.route('/update_task', methods=['PUT'])
def update_task():
    task_id = request.args.get('id')
    status = request.args.get('status')
    for task in tasks:
        if task['id'] == task_id:
            task['status'] = status
            return jsonify({'message': 'Task updated successfully'})
    return jsonify({'message': 'Task not found'})

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

This code can be expanded upon to support more complex functionality based on your specific requirements. You would also need to develop a front-end interface to interact with this API, displaying task lists and enabling status updates.
