Python Eve - REST API additional_lookup not working
@Vorticity has the right fix. Just remove the leading "^" in your additional_lookup regex as follows:
'additional_lookup': { 'url': 'regex("[a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+$")', 'field': 'email'}You should be able to retrieve your item with or without url encoding eg:
localhost:5000/user_creds/someemail@gmail.comlocalhost:5000/user_creds/someemail%40gmail.comIf you have any interest in making your items retrievable at the item level by email only (not object id), you can use item_lookup_field together with item_url:
'user_creds': { ... 'item_url': 'regex("[a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+$")', 'item_lookup_field': 'email'}
