Title: Building a Python Flask REST API: A Step-by-Step Tutorial with GitHub Code Example
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of building a simple REST API using Python and Flask. We'll cover the basics of setting up a Flask project, creating RESTful routes, handling HTTP methods, and finally, we'll demonstrate how to host your code on GitHub.
Make sure you have the following installed on your system:
Create a new directory for your project and navigate to it in the terminal. Then, create a virtual environment to manage dependencies:
Activate the virtual environment:
Install Flask:
This code creates a basic Flask application with a single route /api/hello that responds with a JSON message.
Run your Flask application:
Initialize a Git repository and make your first commit:
Create a new repository on GitHub. Follow the instructions to add the remote repository and push your code:
Replace your-username with your GitHub username.
Congratulations! You've successfully built a simple Flask REST API and hosted it on GitHub. This tutorial provides a foundation for building more complex APIs with additional features. Explore Flask's documentation and continue building upon this example to create robust RESTful services.
