Build and Implement APIs with Python

Exclusive - Learn to use Python to both access APIs and to build API sites

Programmatic access to data through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) is an increasingly important skill for programmers. This course teaches you both how to use Python to access APIs as well as build your own API sites. You’ll learn about a variety of data serialization formats, multiple API accessing libraries, and how to build sites that host APIs using both FastAPI and Django.

This course is lab focused and you’ll gain hands-on experience working with and building APIs.
