What’s this course about and how is it different?
This course will teach you to effortlessly build RESTful services based on Flask and MongoDB.
We dive deep into every aspect of the Eve REST framework. After a quick introduction to MongoDB and Flask, we’ll dig into Eve, build our schemas and endpoints and start serving HTTP clients right away, and that’s just the beginning.
In this course, you will:
Create a new Eve web service application
Define data schemas for the service and MongoDB
Issue queries from the client straight into the service
Validate inbound data (including custom rules)
Add and configure paging for large data sets
Project responses for just the data you need
Switch between JSON and XML per client request
Consume the service with JavaScript, Python, and Postman
Secure your service with authentication
Add event hooks such as pre-insert actions
Limit the rate of your clients to avoid abuse
Deploy your service
And lots more
