Instructions to Run the OTP Viewer Application

Follow these steps to set up and run the OTP Viewer application:

Prerequisites

1. Python Installation: Ensure you have Python installed on your machine. You can download it from python.org.
2. Flask Installation: Install Flask if you haven't already. You can do this using pip:

   bash

    

   pip install Flask
   

Setting Up the Application

1. Clone the Repository: Clone the OTP Viewer repository to your local machine using Git:

   bash

    

   git clone repo
   

   Navigate into the cloned directory:

   bash

    

   cd otp-viewer
   

2. Create the HTML Template: Ensure you have the otp_viewer.html file in a folder named templates within the project directory. This file should contain the HTML structure for displaying the OTPs.

Running the Application

1. Start the Flask Application: Run the application using the following command:

   bash

    

   python app.py
   

   (Replace app.py with the name of your main Python file if it's different.)
2. Access the Application: Open your web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ to access the OTP Viewer interface.

Sending OTPs

• To send OTPs to the application, you can use a tool like Postman or cURL to make a POST request to the /otp endpoint with a JSON body containing the otp, timestamp, and platform. For example:

  json

   

  {
      "otp": "123456",
      "timestamp": "December 23, 2024, 10:00:00 AM",
      "platform": "Web"
  }
  

That's it! You should now be able to run the OTP Viewer application and manage OTPs effectively.
