app = Flask(__name__)

app.config['BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME'] = 'john'
app.config['BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD'] = 'matrix'

basic_auth = BasicAuth(app)


@app.route('/')
@basic_auth.required
def index():
    return open('index.html').read()


@app.route('/secrets')
@basic_auth.required
def secrets():
    return json.dumps({
        'token': 'abc'
    })

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=8000)

This is a quick check to see if it's possible to load JSON from a file that's secured using basic auth.
