+## Backend application example
+
+[c2pa-python-example](https://github.com/contentauth/c2pa-python-example) is an example of a simple application that accepts an uploaded JPEG image file, attaches a C2PA manifest, and signs it using a certificate. The app uses the CAI Python library and the Flask Python framework to implement a back-end REST endpoint; it does not have an HTML front-end, so you have to use something like curl to access it. This example is a development setup and should not be deployed as-is to a production environment.
