Create web services that are lightweight, maintainable, scalable,
and secure using the best tools and techniques designed for Python
About This Book * Develop RESTful Web Services using the most
popular frameworks in Python * Configure and fine-tune your APIs
using the best tools and techniques available * This practical
guide will help you to implement complete REST-based APIs from
scratch Who This Book Is For This book is for web developers who
have working knowledge of Python and would like to build amazing
web services by taking advantage of the various frameworks of
Python. You should have some knowledge of RESTful APIs. What You
Will Learn * Develop complex RESTful APIs from scratch with Python
combined with and without data sources * Choose the most
appropriate (micro) framework based on the specific requirements of
a RESTful API / web service * Debug, test, and profile RESTful APIs
with each of the frameworks * Develop a complex RESTful API that
interacts with a PostgreSQL database * Add authentication and
permissions to a RESTful API built in each of the frameworks * Map
URL patterns to request handlers and check how the API works *
Profile an existing API and refactor it to take advantage of
asynchronous code In Detail Python is the language of choice for
millions of developers worldwide, due to its gentle learning curve
as well as its vast applications in day-to-day programming. It
serves the purpose of building great web services in the RESTful
architecture. This book will show you the best tools you can use to
build your own web services. Learn how to develop RESTful APIs
using the popular Python frameworks and all the necessary stacks
with Python, Django, Flask, and Tornado, combined with related
libraries and tools. We will dive deep into each of these
frameworks to build various web services, and will provide use
cases and best practices on when to use a particular framework to
get the best results. We will show you everything required to
successfully develop RESTful APIs with the four frameworks such as
request handling, URL mapping, serialization, validation,
authentication, authorization, versioning, ORMs, databases, custom
code for models and views, and asynchronous callbacks. At the end
of each framework, we will add authentication and security to the
RESTful APIs and prepare tests for it. By the end of the book, you
will have a deep understanding of the stacks needed to build
RESTful web services. Style and approach The book takes a
straightforward approach, not spending time getting you started
with RESTful APIs and web services. It will give you the best use
cases for each framework to build great web services in Python.
