REST APIs with Flask and Python - Blacklisting with Flask-JWT-Extended

The video tutorial explains how to implement a blacklist in a Flask application using JWT extended. It covers creating a blacklist file with user IDs, configuring the application to enable blacklisting, and implementing a function to check if a token is blacklisted. The tutorial also demonstrates testing the blacklist functionality by creating users and checking access with tokens. It concludes with potential use cases for blacklisting, such as revoking access for abusive users or expired tokens.
