Django Rest Framework

Learn how to build REST APIs with Django and the Django Rest Framework. We will also build a Python client along side of our Django project so we can actually use our REST API in a practical hands-on example.
Web APIs, also know as REST APIs, are how applications can communicate with each other. Essentially, we'll design a standard way to enable our Django project (through Django REST Framework) to communicate with nearly anything else such as:
  • React.js/Vue/Angular apps
  • Phone & Table Native Apps (like iOS or Andriod)
  • Django to Node.js communication or Django to FastAPI, or Django to Ruby on Rails
