2. Open a terminal and navigate to the create_database folder.

3. Execute the script using the following command:

   python insert_dummy_data.py

   Note: While inserting into Membership, you might see some errors on the terminal, this is due to existing Group admins, so there is nothing wrong with those errors.

5. Access API Documentation

Once the application is running, you can access the Swagger documentation to explore the API:

1. If the browser does not open automatically, manually navigate to the following URL:

http://127.0.0.1:5000/docs

2. The Swagger UI will display a list of available API endpoints, including their request methods, parameters, and example responses.

3. Use the Swagger interface to test the API directly by sending requests and viewing responses.

If the Swagger UI does not load, ensure that:

• The app.py file is running without errors.
