How to make API in python?
Python is an easy-to-learn yet powerful object oriented programming language. It is a very high level programming language yet as powerful as many other middle-level not so high level languages like C, C++, Java, etc.
Python offers many choices for API:
- Django
- Pyramid
- Requests
- Flask etc.
You can use Python’s Django framework, it is something you can use for APIs. It is a framework and not a front-end tool that you can use Python to craft fancy visual elements with. Think of Django as a program that you can use to create similar web pages, sites, and other web elements rather than repeating everything all over again.
In fact, 99.99% of Python API developers work with frameworks already made by very intelligent people and perfected for long years by communities of programmers – with just a simple import one has all the power in the hands without the risk of security issues and server support.
Django and Flask are the most popular frameworks used by developers. Django is fast, scalable and secure. It has more features compared to Flask. Flask is lightweight micro framework. Both the frameworks can be used to achieve same objectives. More important thing here is coding the logic.
By using the libraries of python we can make an API. We have to be familiar with other coding languages like HTTP, JSON, etc.
This is all about making API in python.
