APIs

Meta’s deep-dive into building and consuming web APIs. Worked through REST principles end-to-end — resources, verbs, status codes, and JSON payloads — then built APIs in Django REST Framework with serializers, authentication, throttling, and filtering, and tested them like a real client would.

• REST architectural style: resources, verbs, and status codes
• Designing clean, predictable URL structures
• Request and response payloads with JSON
• Building APIs with Django REST Framework
• Serializers, model serializers, and validation
• Authentication, permissions, and token-based access
• Throttling, pagination, filtering, and search
• Testing APIs with Insomnia and automated tests
