How to use and implement useContext()

It's easy to create a RESTful API in Python using Flask. Flask is a popular web framework that provides the tools and features needed to build web applications, including RESTful APIs.

Here's how to create a basic RESTful API using Flask:

Step 1  : Install flask

To install Flask, use this code in your terminal or command prompt.

pip install flask, requests,jsonify

Step 2  : Create a 'filename.py' file and import the necessary Flask modules

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

The endpoints of a REST (Representational State Transfer) API serve as URLs that represent specific resources or actions within a web service. These endpoints are used to interact with the API and perform operations such as retrieving, creating, updating, or deleting data.

Each endpoint is associated with one or more HTTP methods, such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, which define the action to be taken on the resource.

Here is sample code to create a basic RESTful API using Flask : 

from flask import Flask, jsonify 

app = Flask(__name__) 

# Route pour la ressource "users"

@app.route('/users', methods=['GET']) 

def get_users(): 

  # Logique pour récupérer les utilisateurs depuis une base de données ou une autre source      users = [
{'id': 1, 'name': 'John Doe'},
{'id': 2, 'name': 'Jane Smith'}
] 

  return jsonify(users) 

# Route pour une ressource utilisateur spécifique 

@app.route('/users/', methods=['GET']) 

def get_user(user_id): 

    # Logique pour récupérer un utilisateur spécifique depuis une base de données ou une            autre source 

    user = {'id': user_id, 'name': 'John Doe'} 

    return jsonify(user) 

# Exécution de l'application Flask  

if __name__ == '__main__': 

   app.run(debug=True))

Step 3: Run the Flask app

The application will be accessible at http://localhost:5000. You can test the API by accessing these routes in your browser or by using tools like Postman.
