<h2>reverseapi.py</h2>
This script runs continuously to act as the server side of SDRangel reverse API feature. It will respond with a copy of the settings when forwarding channel or device settings which is a valid reply and will also send back a valid reply when forwarding the device start/stop actions. The reverse API feature was implemented in version 4.3.2 and you can learn more about it in the Wiki.
It uses Python flask package for the server so you will need to either install it system wide or better create your own virtual environment and use the `pip install flask` command once your virtual environment is activated. If you know Python then you know what a virtual environment is about.
Then in the virtual environment do:
```
export FLASK_APP=reverseapi.py
export FLASK_ENV=development
flask run
```
By default the server will listen on port 5000. It was used to conveniently test the reverse API but actually does not do much. It can serve as a base to implement more complex scenarios to control other devices or software or other instances of SDRangel.
