Python REST API Development: A Comprehensive Guide
Gain insights into using Python to consume and create REST APIs, delving into HTTP methods like GET and PUT. Ideal for enhancing intermediate Python skills.
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.
