Scalable API with Secure Access Control & Usage Monitoring

Create and construct a RESTful API with the following capabilities that is suitable for production:

  1. Rate Restrictions:
    • Use the proper error responses and retry headers to enforce per-user/API-key request limits (e.g., requests per minute/hour).
  2. Key Management for APIs:
    • Create, save, and verify API keys safely
    • Encourage key revocation and rotation
    • Link specific users or apps to API keys.
  3. Analytics for usage:
    • Monitor metrics related to API usage, including request volume, accessed endpoints, and response times.
    • Offer reporting features through endpoints or dashboards.
    • Turn on logging for auditing and monitoring.
  4. Extra Conditions:
    • Employ security best practices (input validation, encryption, and authentication).
    • Assure performance optimization and scalability
    • Add comprehensive API documentation (such as OpenAPI/Swagger).
    • Offer sample requests or responses, as well as example endpoints.

Provide clear, organized code, setup guidelines, and justifications for important design choices.
