Python Project: Implement a REST API with Flask & Flasgger Libraries!
We continue where we left on in the last video and implement two REST endpoints for a book review API. We implement a Get request to retrieve all our reviews and implement a Post request to add a new review to our Airtable database. We use the Flasgger library to create interactive documentation for our endpoints. We use ChatGPT to help us write our endpoints Python code. We use Render.com to deploy our API to a publicly accessible URL
