Python REST APIs With Flask, Connexion, and SQLAlchemy – Part 2
Most modern web applications are powered by a REST API under the hood. That way, developers can separate the front-end code from the back-end logic, and users can interact with the interface dynamically. In this three-part tutorial series, you’re building a REST API with the Flask web framework.
You’ve created a foundation with a basic Flask project and added endpoints, which you’ll connect to a SQLite database. You’re also testing your API with Swagger UI API documentation that you’re building along the way.
In the first part, you used Flask and Connexion to create a REST API providing CRUD operations to an in-memory structure called PEOPLE. By doing so, you learned how the Connexion module helps you build
