Flask is one of the most lightweight and flexible Python frameworks — perfect for creating REST APIs quickly. In this post, we’ll go step-by-step through building a simple REST API using Flask.
You’ll learn how to set up Flask, define API routes, handle JSON data, and test endpoints with Postman. By the end, you’ll have a working API that can be used for web apps, mobile apps, or automation scripts.
Key takeaways:
- Setting up a Flask environment
- Creating GET and POST routes
- Returning JSON responses
- Testing endpoints with Postman
This is a great starting point if you’re planning to integrate Python with your front-end or mobile applications.
