Python Flask - Create APIs using Python

Python, Flask, API, Web Service

In this course I will show you how to create Web Services or APIs using Python and its Flask Library. I will also cover multiple application scenarios like connecting to databases (SQL and NoSQL) and perform CRUD operations, read from files, building multiple APIs that communicate with each other. At the end of the course I will build a very simple Web Application using HTML and Python Flask.

The course has 3 sections - i) Python Basics; ii) Python Flask; iii) Projects

For APIs with databases I will use PostgreSQL, DynamoDB and Redis to showcase the application patterns. Scenario based hands-on will perform multiple operations and at the end there would be projects on the same. I will also show you how to use "Postman" tool to send API requests and receive responses.

This course will contain 5 different projects that have to be completed by the candidates. Resources for those projects will be given in the course itself. Following is one of the project snippet (There will be a total of 5 projects):

1. Use Postman to send request to one API

2. That API will call 3 different APIs

3. Out of 3, one would connect to MySQL, another would connect to DynamoDB and the final one would connect to an external API.

4. Finally the results have to be consolidated and sent to client
