Eve is an open source Python REST API framework designed for human beings. It allows you to effortlessly build and deploy highly customizable, fully featured RESTful web services. This course will teach you to effortlessly build RESTful services based on Flask and MongoDB. We dive deep into every aspect of the Eve REST framework. After a quick introduction to MongoDB and Flask, we'll dig into Eve, build our schemas and endpoints and start serving HTTP clients right away, and that's just the beginning.

  • Validate inbound data (including custom rules)
  • Add and configure paging for large data sets
  • Project responses for just the data you need
  • Switch between JSON and XML per client request
  • Consume the service with JavaScript, Python, and Postman
  • Secure your service with authentication
  • Add event hooks such as pre-insert actions
  • Limit the rate of your clients to avoid abuse
  • Deploy your service
  • And lots more

Who is this course for?

It's for anyone who has wants to leverage Eve to build RESTful APIs. We do assume you know basic Python concepts but advanced features and knowledge of MongoDB, Flask, and REST is not required.
