API stands for Application Programming Interface.

An API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. In other words, an API is the messenger that delivers your request to the provider that you're requesting it from and then delivers the response back to you.

When we are building APIs, we want our models to provide four basic types of functionality. The model must be able to Create, Read, Update,and Delete resources.

Very nice for beginners like me. Trainer is explaining all the concepts very quickly no waste of time. Highly recommended if you want to learn Django in lest time. Also not for the advanced users.

The instructor explains the concept in detail. This course is very good for beginner at API

By Ayushman Kumar Banerjee on 10/1/2020

After going through this crisp course, I was able to write my own API for a personal project. Had there been another section on how to deploy the django app somewhere that would've been a cherry on top. But a great tutorial anyway, short and simple! Cheers.

Good... But I did not get some concepts

By Mehul Popat on 7/12/2020

Please provide more explanation for what and why the classes are used, possibilities. Don't just copy code from somewhere and run it, write your own code and explain it properly, face errors and explain what possible errors are and how to tackle them.....

By Talent Pachena on 7/11/2020

By Gabriel Gitonga on 7/11/2020

The instructions are very clear and to the point. The instructor knows what he is doing. Please share source code for future reference
