REST API with Python

Note: The basic requirement to start JSON-server and Python should be installed.

Step 1:

Create a directory named 'rest' and generate two files within the directory: 'db.json' and 'rest_api_test.py'.

Utilizing db.json: A Practical Use Case for Demonstrating Python CRUD Operations Without Frameworks

Step 2:

Add some objects inside db.json as below image

Step 3:

Open the terminal and install 'requests' in Python by using the below command.

pip3 install requests

Step 4: Use the below code to test all the crud operation

# import request for perform all CRUD operation
import requests
# create header object
headers = {
  "accept": "application/json",
}
# create a object or data and add into db.json 
data = {
            "id":"5",
            "name":"Cedric",
            "pass":"cd@123"
        }

# CRUD all operations
# GET
response = requests.get("http://localhost:3000/data/2",headers=headers)
print(f"{response.status_code} ---> {response.json()}")

# POST
response = requests.post("http://localhost:3000/data", data = data)
print(f"{response.status_code} ---> {response.json()}")

# PUT
data = {
    "name":"Sirius",
    "pass":"sb@123"
}
response = requests.put("http://localhost:3000/data/2", data = data)
print(f"{response.status_code} ---> {response.json()}")

# DELETE
response = requests.put("http://localhost:3000/data/2", data = data)
print(f"{response.status_code} ---> {response.json()}")

Note: This article won't guide you through working with an actual database, but it will provide a high-level idea about CRUD operations using REST API.

Thank you for your time........
