A related question I have for people posting is what authentication scheme have you used? Did you find it to be a good solution and if not any ideas what you would use next time?

Out of interest, I hear a lot of people saying Flask is good for REST API's.
You don't use any additional framework? Does this mean you manually have to code POST requests to accept data / save them to the database? Some kind of REST framework would seem like a far easier option. (I use Django / Tasypie - you configure the resource, and it automatically knows how to save a valid POST to the database).
