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.

# Getting details of a specific product

The GET method can also be used to retrieve a specific resource from a collection. In our case, it'll be a product from a product collection based on the ID of the product. For such a case, GET is used with the URI having a path parameter. The path parameter defines how the resource can be uniquely identified and accessed from the collection. In the product collection, the ID of a product uniquely identifies it. So, the path parameter will be the value of the ID.

The structure of the request header, response header, and response body will be the same as discussed in [Design the GET Endpoint for Listing Products](https://www.educative.io/courses/python-rest-api-development-a-comprehensive-guide/design-the-get-endpoint-for-listing-products).

Understand how the GET method is used to design products API to get the details of a specific product.
