Now we have a bunch of saved requests in our collection. Next time, if we make any changes in our application, we can rerun these tests to make sure the previously developed APIs are still working fine. This is called regression testing in the developer python api design community. And Postman is a simple yet powerful tool for us to perform such testing. The jsonify package here is to convert our Python objects to JSON format. It will also change the content type in our HTTP response to application/json.

That’s why when we hit a new topic, we stop and discuss it with concise and clear visuals. Organize your app using APIRoutes to properly factor your application across Python files. This REST APIS Training includes 2 courses , 4 Projects with 12+ hours of video tutorials and Lifetime Access. Udacity is the trusted market leader in talent transformation.

In the last article, I have shared some courses to learn Microservice development with the Spring framework, and today…

Why Python?

The first program he sold was a network application that helps clients configuring, maintaining, and testing thousands of multi-vendor network devices. He’s experienced with big projects like a marathon’s online registration system, rental car management system, and so on. He has worked extensively with Google App Engine, PostgreSQL, and advanced system architecture design. He has been a self-taught developer for many years and knows what is the most efficient way to learn a new skill. Learners discover how to implement a working API using Python and the Flask framework in this 13-video course.

Each of the courses in the training and their supporting courses fulfills the requirement of a learner to be the “best” API developer. All the courses blend in a way that ensures an unbreakable chain of knowledge and enables you to apply the learning in real-life problems. This is a long course with total video content of seventeen hours. It is a beginner-level course but at the same time, it’s also the best and most comprehensive course to learn API and web service development in Java. By the way, you would need a Pluralsight membership to join this course which costs around $29 per month or $299 per year (14% discount). I highly recommend this subscription to all programmers as it provides instant access to more than 7000+ online courses to learn any tech skill. Alternatively, you can also use their 10-day-free-trial to watch this course for FREE.
