Repository files navigation

This is an interactive tutorial that will teach you how to create an API using the Flask framework on Python and Pipenv.

This project comes with the necessary files to start working immediately.

We recommend opening this very same repository using a provisioning tool likeCodespaces (recommended) orGitpod. Alternatively, you can clone it on your local computer using thegit clone command.

This is the repository you need to open:

https://github.com/breatheco-de/python-flask-api-tutorial

👉 Please follow these steps onhow to start a coding project.

💡 Important: Remember to save and upload your code to GitHub by creating a new repository, updating the remote (git remote set-url origin <your new url>), and uploading the code to your new repository using theadd,commit andpush commands from the git terminal.

In this tutorial, we are going to be building a REST API that exposes 3 endpoints to the internet:

GET /todosPOST /todosDELETE /todos/<int:position>

Will return the list of all todos like this:

[{"done":true,"label":"Sample Todo 1"},{"done":true,"label":"Sample Todo 2"}]

This will add a new todo to the list with the following request body:

{"done":true,"label":"Sample Todo 1"}

And return the updated list of todos.

This will remove one todo, based on a given position in the todos list, at the end of the URL and return the updated list of todos.

This and many other projects are built by students as part of the 4Geeks AcademyCoding Bootcamp byAlejandro Sanchez and many other contributors. Find out more about ourFull Stack Developer Course, andData Science Bootcamp.
