Description

Tasks

  • Create a route (ex "/api/class/<class_id>") that will return information about the class in JSON
  • If the user is not authenticated as the user that we are looking up return a 401 (unauthorized) status code instead
  • If the id does not exist, send a 404 (not found) response

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing codebase to understand how routes and authentication are currently set up. Look at other API endpoints for patterns. Then implement the '/api/class/<class id>' route with authentication checks and appropriate error responses.
