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.

Python REST API Development: A Comprehensive Guide

Before we start creating a client to consume REST services, we need to select the Python library that we're going to use.

First of all, we need to define what we need the library to do. Then, after looking at the available Python libraries, we'll be able to select the best match for our requirements. So, let's first specify the selection criteria. 


Define our criteria for choosing a library, look at the popular Python libraries available, and make our choice.
