A Flask extension that prevents browser access to API by faking browser error pages.

## Usage

```python

from flask import flask

from flask_fool import FlaskFool

app = Flask('myapp')

fooler = FlaskFool(app)

```

From now if any error is caught by the application and the query has been emitted by a browser,

an error page corresponding to the used browser will be returned, suggesting that the queried

domain does not exist.

## Disallow browser access

You can also totally prevent for browser access by using ``disallow_browser`` flag :

```python

fooler = FlaskFool(app, disallow_browser=True)

```

## User agent filtering

You can also just want your API only be reachable by a specific user agent. In that case you can

specify a custom user agent for which only request will be received :

```python

fooler = FlaskFool(app, user_agent='MyCustomUserAgent')

```
