Building APIs in Python

In Building APIs in Python, you'll learn the skills to create and manage APIs using Python. Starting with foundational Python skills, this track guides you through consuming and interacting with APIs before introducing you to FastAPI, a high-performance framework for building robust, production-ready APIs. You'll learn interactively to implement core API functionalities, including handling HTTP operations, request validation, and asynchronous execution for optimized performance. It includes a hands-on project where you'll develop an API to retrieve real-time exchange rates for international sales. By the end, you'll be able to develop and manage scalable APIs for a wide range of applications.
