REST API Development With Python and Flask
REST API is a way for clients, such as web or mobile applications, to interact with a server and exchange data. For instance, a REST API could receive a request with a username and password from a client and return information on whether the user exists in the database.
When building REST APIs, the focus is on providing a seamless experience for the clients rather than the end-users. Clients of REST APIs are typically web or mobile apps, as opposed to a traditional website where the users themselves act as clients.
Through this process, you will learn how to develop a REST API that provides both authentication and data storage and retrieval capabilities. This knowledge will be valuable for creating any type of REST API for future projects
Course Key learnings:
- Integrate web/mobile apps with databases and servers using REST APIs
- Develop secure, reliable REST APIs with authentication, deployment, and database migration support
- Acquire knowledge of web server architecture and the interaction between web applications
- Implement user authentication with advanced features such as token refresh
- Enhance security with JWT blacklisting during log-outs and prevent API abuse
Learn to develop high-quality REST APIs through expert guidance - Enhance API performance through task queues and background workers optimization
