Description
This course covers how to build a professional API platform using pure Flask, without any supplemental libraries, so that students learn the fundamentals of RESTful API design. In a world dominated by JavaScript user interfaces and mobile applications, a scalable and well architected API is what ensures clients and servers communicate through the proper interfaces.
What this course covers:
- The basic concepts of the RESTful API pattern, in an introductory section covering everything needed to understand what a RESTful API is
- The six constraints of the REST architecture, explained in detail and built out step by step
- A step by step build of a Pet Store API, including an authentication layer, a Store endpoint and a Pet endpoint
- Adding search functionality to the API
- Industry-standard practices for API architectures
Aimed at developers who already know the basics of Flask. By the end, students will be able to design, architect and build their own RESTful API platforms, and will have the grounding in the laws governing APIs needed to evaluate the API libraries available for Python and Flask.
