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

# A quick recap

In this course, we learned that: 

* REST is an architectural style. 
* It makes use of HTTP methods and data transfer techniques to implement APIs.
* The client can connect to a server either by ignoring the SSL or using the certificate of the server.
* The body of the response can be marshaled into a Python dictionary and used as a Python object.
* To design an API, HTTP methods can be used.
* Python's Flask framework provides the simplest way to implement REST APIs.
* Each HTTP method can be mapped to one of the Create, Retrieve, Update, and Delete operations.
* The HTTP OPTIONS method can be used to inform the clients about the supported functionalities of the API.
