Python REST API Development with Flask

🚀 Day 16 – Exploring REST API Tools in Python Today I learned about tools and frameworks used to build REST APIs in Python, and how real-world APIs are structured. 🔹 Key Concepts Covered: • Understanding how APIs manage resources like countries (name, capital, area) • Designing endpoints such as /countries for handling data • Using JSON as a standard data format • Storing data temporarily using Python lists 🔹 Framework Explored: Flask • Lightweight Python framework for building APIs • Handles HTTP requests and routes them to functions • Built simple endpoints like: GET /countries → retrieve data POST /countries → add new data 🔹 What I understood: • How APIs are structured in real applications • How requests and responses work in backend systems • How Python can be used not just to consume APIs, but also to build them This was my first step into backend API development using Python, and it gave me a clear understanding of how data flows in real-world applications. Continuing to build my Data Engineering & API knowledge step by step. 🐍💻 #Python #DataEngineering #APIs #RESTAPI #BackendDevelopment #LearningJourney #SelfLearning
