Blog API with Django Rest Framework 7 of 33 - Update & Destroy Delete API View

** Blog API with Django Rest Framework ** is a project to build a RESTful API service for the blog we created in Advancing the Blog and Try Django 1.9.

RESTful API services allow our applications to connect with other applications using JSON-formatted data. An strong API can enhance our applications ability to provide value to other services and end users. This type of API is very common in modern web application development.

Generally the topics will include:
- Django Project Setup
- Class Based Views (& some Function Based Views)
- Models, Model Forms, Forms, Form Validation
- Integrate Bootstrap front-end framework.
- Django Registration Redux for Authentication/Registration
- And More

Just an FYI to all. The way he sets up the API end points is not considered RESTful. RESTful API would not allow verbs/actions in the URL. That is what HTTP methods do. The API endpoint should usually be a noun that is plural representing objects of that type. So in the example of Posts, his endpoint should be
This would represent all posts objects in the database.
Then if he wants to request a detail post or specific post, usually you throw an ID at the end of the url so...
This will return the post with an id of 1, or in the video's case, he would put the slug at the end.
Now to manipulate a specific post you would send an HTTP request with a specific method. So let's say you want to delete the post with the ID of 1. You would send a DELETE HTTP request to...
To update a post with an ID of 2, then you would send a PUT/PATCH HTTP request to...
Here is good article on RESTful API design that explains what proper RESTful API is.

What's the difference between PUT and PATCH? When should I use one or another?
