SLUGS

The Simple, Lightweight User Group Services (SLUGS) library provides a simple web service that serves user/group membership data over a basic REST interface.

>>> import requests
>>> requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:8080/slugs').json()
{u'users': [u'Jane', u'John'], u'groups': [u'Male', u'Female', u'Human']}
>>> requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:8080/slugs/users').json()
{u'users': [u'Jane', u'John']}
>>> requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:8080/slugs/users/John').status_code

>>> requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:8080/slugs/users/John/groups').json()
