Learn to build REST API using Python, Flask and Postman

In this class you are going to learn about building REST API using Flask and Postman.

Understanding how the API works to deploying API is the objective of this class. Moreover, you would also learn fundamentals of the API likehttp requests, endpoints, routes, CRUD operations and much more in pragmatic style.

You could create APIs for different HTTP methods like get, post, put, patch and delete. And you would also learn how to efficiently store data to the database using flask SQL alchemy.

To test API's, you will also learn to use Postman. Postman is an API client that makes it easy for developers like you to create, share, test and document APIs.

Why You Should Take This Class?

If Technology is eating up jobs, then APIs are the teeth. APIs are everywhere and understanding the concepts of API and how to build would always give you competitive advantage over others.

Future of development will be much more depended on APIs and if you are a developer or someone working in the technology domain, you need some working knowledge about APIs not just conceptual information but practical knowledge. And when you could build APIs and work with them, you could use your skills for a variety of roles in technology-based organizations. Be it Machine Learning or Data Science, Cloud services or mobile development, have developer skills over APIs could be a leverage. Moreover, this class is short and to the point that teaches with pragmatic approach.
