Integrating multiple external APIs doesn’t have to be messy.
This project wraps external services (News, Crypto, Weather, GitHub) through a clean, scalable architecture using:
Modular Flask blueprints
Service-layer API abstractions
SQLAlchemy models + migrations
A responsive, glass-style dashboard UI
Application factory pattern for maintainability
Why I Built This
Working across multiple APIs gets chaotic fast — different formats, rate limits, timeouts, auth models.
So I created a structure that any developer can extend without fighting their project.
What You Can Do With It
Add your own API integrations effortlessly
Use it as a learning resource for Flask architecture
Build a personal dashboard
Use it as a foundation for a production-grade backend

Feel free to fork, break, improve, or extend it.
And if you’ve got ideas for new modules — I’d love to collaborate.
