Create a REST API Server with Python, Flask, and MongoDB

In this post, I am going to show you how you can create your REST or Representational State Transfer server using Python, Flask, and MongoDB. If you have your Internet of Things (IoT) projects and you would like to control it from your database or you want to create a logger of your sensor readings then knowing what is REST API server and how to create one is important.

This is Part 3 of my MongoDB for IoT Developer series where we will integrate the MongoDB Database into our IoT projects. We will be using Arduino microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi Single Board Computers, and MicroPython devices in controlling our electronic circuit.

WriteUp:

Great job! I don't watch the video but the writeup is really helpful <3

The first 3 posts of this series are heavy on the lectures/theories/set up but the following videos would be a breeze. I wrote this series for IoT developers and have carefully written the tutorials in a beginner-friendly style. I used Python over javascript as it is much easier to pick up and most hardware guys would be able to get a hang of the code much better. Hang in there!😀😀😀

Thanks for this great series. Would you recommend using Django instead of Flask?
