# OTP with meme image
|
|
|
|
Idk why i made this. A REST API that sends a one-time authentication code (a.k.a OTP) to email, but the code is in the text of a meme image. One of the projects that gives me a break from schoolwork
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
Packages required:
|
|
- flask
|
|
|
|
Setup:
|
|
- Create a new `.env` file
|
|
- Add your `EMAIL_SENDER` and `EMAIL_PASSWORD` in your `.env` file
|
|
- Optional:
|
|
- By default I use gmail for email host, you can configure your `HOST` in the `.env` file.
|
|
- You can also add `PORT` in `.env`
|
|
- Create or use an API test app like Postman
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
- Run `main.py`
|
|
- Send a request to http://localhost:5000/send-otp with your `email` query as email recipient. E.g: http://localhost:5000/send-otp?email=your@email.com.
|
|
- If successful then a response appears like this:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"email": {
|
|
"body": "Here's your email confirmation",
|
|
"receiver": "your.receiver@email.com",
|
|
"sender": "your.sender@email.com",
|
|
"subject": "confirm your account"
|
|
},
|
|
"message": "Success sending email",
|
|
"status": 200
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
- Now if you look at the recipient's email, it will be the image that was sent:

## Why this meme?
|
|
|
|
The meme used in this project is Shannon Smiling or better known as *The Guy Smiling And Wearing A Suit*, which is often paired with a negative text or _"My Reaction For That Information"_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the reason why I chose this meme was inspired by a meme where a man screenshot the OTP sender's chat and he replied by sending a photo of himself posing cool. suddenly it gave me the idea to make an OTP system by sending pictures of people posing cool with the OTP code text.
|
|
|
|
Idk why I chose the photo of Shannon smiling, it's because I think with the meme photo of Shannon in addition to making a sense of humor but also as a sign of welcome and strengthens security. |
