Web API Development with Python: A Beginner’s Guide using Flask and FastAPI

Dive into the essentials of Web API Development with Python with this comprehensive beginner’s guide using Flask and FastAPI. Whether you are new to API development or a professional looking for a quick start with FastAPI and Flask, this project-based book equips you with the knowledge and skills to design powerful APIs in Python. Master the foundational concepts and progress to advanced techniques that will help you build efficient, scalable APIs.

Course Overview

API development has become a critical skill in modern software engineering, and Python offers two leading frameworks—Flask and FastAPI—that make it easier than ever to build robust APIs. This book introduces you to Flask, a popular microframework used by companies like Netflix, Airbnb, and Instagram, before advancing to FastAPI, a high-performance framework that’s quickly becoming a favorite in the Python community. By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of both frameworks and how to create APIs that meet real-world demands.

What You’ll Learn

Understand the fundamentals of APIs and HTTP communication
Gain hands-on experience with Flask for building RESTful APIs
Learn how to connect Flask to a front-end using Jinja2 templates
Explore the power of FastAPI for building modern, asynchronous APIs
Implement efficient routing, type-hinting, and data validation techniques
Handle form data, HTTP messages, and design principles for RESTful APIs

Requirements

This book is suitable for beginner to intermediate Python developers with basic Python programming knowledge. Prior experience with web development is helpful but not required.

Book Description

This hands-on guide takes you from the basics of API development to advanced topics with Flask and FastAPI. Beginning with foundational concepts, you’ll quickly move on to using Flask to create RESTful APIs, connecting with front-end templates, and understanding the core elements of a well-designed API. Next, the book introduces FastAPI, an asynchronous framework designed for modern, high-performance APIs, showcasing techniques for efficient routing, type hinting, and data validation.

Each chapter is project-based, helping you apply your learning to real-world scenarios and reinforcing your skills through practice. By the end of this book, you will be capable of creating and managing robust web APIs that can scale to meet business requirements.
