About this course

Are you intrigued by how REST APIs use HTTP requests to accept data from clients and return data accurately? Equipped with the necessary skills, you can also develop professional-grade REST APIs and take your software development career to the next level. This video course will teach you how you can build REST API with Python, using Flask. The course starts with a Python refresher, which will take you from the basics to some of the most advanced features of Python. You’ll then explore various aspects of writing a REST API and get to grips with the Flask-RESTful API for more efficient development. As you advance, you’ll store and retrieve resources in an SQL database and simplify storage with Flask SQLAlchemy. Next, you’ll create user and item models and become familiar with the Git repository, workflow, and security. Finally, you’ll deploy Flask apps to Heroku and secure your REST API with DNS and SSL certificates.
