REST is the most used mechanism to publish APIs for general consumption. Each language has its own set of libraries and methods that help a developer consume these APIs. This course will teach you how to use Python and its libraries for consuming and creating REST APIs in the easiest way possible.
In the first part of this course, you’ll learn how to work with Python in using REST APIs for various scenarios. Then, in the second part, you’ll focus on building your own REST APIs using the HTTP methods, including GET, PUT, etc.
This course is geared toward intermediate users who have a basic understanding of Python and want to improve their skills in using existing REST APIs and building their REST API implementations.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
