Flask-RESTPlus Has What You Need

Explore how to develop server-side REST APIs using Flask and Flask-RESTPlus. Understand routing, HTTP methods like GET and POST, JSON input/output, and error handling to build robust APIs.

Flask and HTTP methods

Flask is a micro-framework, and we can use it to create a REST API by connecting routes and specifying HTTP methods (for example, GET, POST), parsing input and output JSON strings, and handling errors. An easier approach is to use the batteries-included package flask-restplus.

Flask-RESTPlus

If you want to work on it on your local system, you can install it using pipenv in your project directory.

pipenv install flask-restplus flask-cors

Here, we’ve also installed flask-cors, which will make it easier later to develop the front-end and back-end at the same time.
