30 Days of Python - Day 13 - Using a REST API Service - Python TUTORIAL

In 30 Days of Python, I'll teach you the fundamentals of Python. We created this series as an introduction to programming with Python.

Why Python? It's a very popular way to writing computer programs and automations with board applications: SpaceX & NASA use it to launch rockets, Tesla with autonomous driving, Instagram as a web app backend, Intel to pilot drones/UAVs, and many many others.

What you can do with Python is nearly endless:

Run powerful web applications
Fly drones and launch rockets
Run autonomous robots like drones and self-driving cars
Build connected systems with Arduino and Raspberry PI
Automate business intelligences and perform financial analysis
Machine learning including deep learning
And many more ways
That list is fancy but don't let it scare you. Python is just a tool for writing a series of step-by-step automation rules and that's exactly what software is: a collection of rules for a computer to follow.

The right tools in the right hands can impact the world in such amazing ways.

Shakespeare had very few tools for writing plays and yet he continues to influence our entertainment despite being long gone. Creativity mixed with the right tools can transform how we do everything or why we do it.

That's why I want to teach you this tool. The world needs your creatively, your perspective, your project.

Let's do this!

Man, i´ve just started learning coding and for that i´ve been watching your videos. You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks for sharing. regards from Argentina.

[leventbozkurt]

Great Teacher. Thank you. pls continue to teach

[lovecoco]

for me personally, the vids in this series are the best a beginner can find.

[likeashutoshkumar]

Man, i´ve been learning coding from since "try django series". You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks for sharing. regards from India.
I have just one request if you can mention about your upcoming
video topic for this tutorial series, may be in the description section.So, that i can give my heads up to documentation before, your new video upload.
Keep good work up!! you are an inspiration for me.

Nice project. It would be interesting to follow up by creating the back-end REST API service in Flask.

[hamzakhalid]

These are the best videos ever! Mindblown.

[Adepentane]

26:49 => Using python input and passing it through the search_query.

Noticed I get more results if I search just "matrix", the API calls all movies with 'matrix' and displays them.

[haifengwu]

very useful video explaining a lot what i need exactly

[viet-anhbui]

Ty so muchhhh, ur vid really help me a LOTS:D

[sasha_varik]

Hi, you should pass "params" instead of "data" in your GET request. "data" is for POST request
Like this:
params = {"api_key": "your_api_key"}
r = requests.get(endpoint, params=params)


Thanks for videos)

[regdancy]

This is one of the best tutorials I've watched in a while. This is just what I needed for a new project I'm working on. A huge thanks! Well done! I do have one question. How would I add urljoin so I can use a query string and params. My URL is using expands=descendants. Thanks in advance!

[dukex]

You are the top man. Thanks for what are you doing.

[shubh]

Wow, loved your tutorials, such great content and easy to follow

[billnjoroge]

Man, your tutorials are so damn amazing!!!! I have absolutely no idea why and how you still don't have 1m+ subs. either way, keep posting them!!

[ai.]

Man, one day these tutorials will hit 1 Million.

Matching data: You could make the variables 'movie_titles.lower()' and 'release_date' then match them up that way...

OR to make the data more manageable, filter the movies by year and then search for the titles in lower case...

If I might pitch a request, can you go over some writing Django Views functions for Javascript: Ajax, web-hooks, and React vs Angular?

[thebeardedskateboarder]

Awesome tutorial. I self taught APIs using Javascript and I can't wait to try out the Python way :). Could you PLEASE go over a POST and DELETE call? I don't understand how these are made and I can't find anything to demonstrate how to do it.
