[FEATURE] REST API endpoint for third-party integration

[Rudra-clrscr]

Problem

The spam detection system currently only works through its own UI, so other applications, bots, or services can't programmatically use the classifier.

Proposed Solution

Expose a REST API endpoint (e.g., POST /classify) that accepts a message string and returns the classification (Spam / Smishing / Offensive / Ham) along with a confidence score. Include API key-based authentication and basic rate limiting so it can be safely used by external developers.

Acceptance Criteria

• /classify endpoint accepts text input and returns label + confidence score
• API key authentication for access control
• Basic rate limiting to prevent abuse
• API documentation (e.g., Swagger/OpenAPI spec) describing request/response format

The proposal suggests adding a REST API endpoint (POST /classify) to enable third-party applications to programmatically use the system's spam detection classifier. The API would return the message classification (e.g., Spam, Smishing, Offensive, Ham) with a confidence score, include API key-based authentication for access control, implement basic rate limiting to prevent abuse, and provide documentation detailing the API's usage.

Third party integration with other apps?

[Rudra-clrscr]

@Userunknown84 Yes , like other developers can integrate our services in their projects . And also to have rate limit of usage like in gemini free APIs .

Api to grow bhi sahi h .Ek kaam kar sakte h app install kar wala feature kar sakte h to run on local machine And extension ek jaise .

[Userunknown84]

Ye task heavy and time consuming h

[Rudra-clrscr]

@Userunknown84 Yes , we can package the API into the app , then the user can run it in localhost . It will be then an app development task and will be heavy task . What do you think ? should it be done now or be implement in future ?

[Userunknown84]

It's a great idea and I think implement karna chahiye . Because last feature ko time lagega
