Learn to Build APIs with Django Rest Framework (Full Course)

Building APIs with the Django Rest Framework(DRF) can be a little intimidating at first. The purpose of this video is to explain the most used concepts to build a simple API and show you how to go about creating one.

Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.

Some reasons you might want to use REST framework:

• The Web browsable API is a huge usability win for your developers.

• Authentication policies including packages for OAuth1a and OAuth2.

• Serialization that supports both ORM and non-ORM data sources.

• Customizable all the way down - just use regular function-based views if you don't need the more powerful features.

Extensive documentation, and great community support.

Used and trusted by internationally recognised companies including Mozilla, Red Hat, Heroku, and Eventbrite.
