This project is a RESTful API for a blogging platform, developed using Flask, Flask-RESTful, Flask-Smorest, SQLAlchemy, and Marshmallow. It provides a comprehensive set of endpoints for user management and blog post operations. In addition, it integrates with Cloudinary to support image uploading for profile pictures and blog posts.

Users can sign up, log in, and have their information securely stored in the database. User passwords are hashed before storage for enhanced security. Additionally, users can upload profile pictures, which are stored and managed through Cloudinary.

The API uses JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for user authentication. This allows for secure data transmission between the client and server. After a user logs in, they receive a token which they then use for authentication when making requests.

Users can create, update, view, and delete blog posts. All blog post operations require user authentication. Users can also upload images for their blog posts, with image storage handled by Cloudinary.

The API uses Marshmallow for data validation and serialization. This helps ensure data integrity when interacting with the database.

The API includes error handling, providing meaningful feedback to clients when errors occur.
