How does Apple Maps have Yelp listings? How does Tinder get Facebook user profiles? How does Amazon Alexa know the latest news? These questions get to the core of how powerful REST APIs can be: it allows for websites to communicate with each other without any human interaction.

Building a REST API isn't just about connecting with third party services, it's also about:

  • Adding Authentication, Registration, Databases, and more to your Mobile App, IOT Device, TV app, Car app, and more
  • Connecting your own web apps with each other
  • Creating micro-services
  • Adding a backend for Angular, React, iOS Apps, Android apps, and more
  • Simplifying the process of separating your backend from your frontend
  • Making it easier to build additional services with new developers

This course will teach you step-by-step exactly how to build a REST API

We'll cover the concepts first, then we'll go into build a PURE DJANGO REST API, then we'll use the Django REST Framework to build a REST API.

Requirements:
  • Some Python Experience
  • Some Django Experience
Who this course is for:
  • Anyone looking to connect their apps (mobile, web, iot, TV, etc) to a REST API
  • Anyone looking to get better at building web applications
  • Anyone looking to add Users, Security, Permissions, and a Database to anything that can connect to the internet
  • Pythonistas and Beginner Python learners
  • Djangonauts and Beginner Django learners

What you'll learn:

  • What is an API?
  • What is a REST API?
  • How to build your own REST API
  • A deeper understanding of Django
  • A deep understanding of the Django Rest Framework
  • A deep understanding of JWT and authentication with the Django Rest Framework
  • Building an REST API with Python

About the Author: Udemy

Udemy thumbnail

Udemy is the largest open marketplace for online courses on the internet. Founded in 2010 by Eren Bali, Oktay Caglar, and Gagan Biyani and headquartered in San Francisco, the company went public on the Nasdaq in 2021 under the ticker UDMY. The platform hosts well over two hundred thousand courses across software development, IT and cloud, data science, design, business, marketing, and creative skills, taught by tens of thousands of independent instructors. Roughly seventy million learners use it worldwide, and the corporate arm — Udemy Business — supplies a curated subset of that catalog to enterprise customers.

Because Udemy is a marketplace rather than a single editorial publisher, the catalog is uneven by design. The strongest material lives in the long-form, project-based courses authored by working engineers — full-stack JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python data science, AWS, Docker and Kubernetes, mobile development with Flutter and React Native, and cloud certification preparation. The CourseFlix listing under this source is the slice of that catalog that has been mirrored here for offline-friendly viewing, organized by topic and updated as new releases land. Pricing on Udemy itself swings dramatically with the site's near-permanent sales, which is why the platform is best treated as a deep reference catalog: pick instructors with strong reviews and a track record of updating their material rather than buying on the headline price alone.
