This is the code used in 67-272 to teach the basics of building an API. There are several branches here to demonstrate different aspects of API building. The branches build in a cumulative fashion, so the order to review these branches is:
-
basics -- this is the most basic API possible
-
swagger -- this version is where we document the API with Swagger docs
-
serializers -- this version does some basic serialization to allow us to generate more interesting JSON
-
adv_serializers -- a more advanced version of the prior branch
-
cors -- allowing for cross origin resource sharing
-
filtering -- this version adds flexibility to the API allowing us to filter and order results as needed
-
adv_filtering -- this version refactors the previous branch to reduce some obvious code duplication
-
auth -- adding some authentication for the API to restrict access
-
versioning -- creating versions of the API
-
rackattack -- throttling access to the API to stop excessive usage
