# Building and deploying a Python API ## About In this session we will build some API endpoints, documentation for those endpoints, and the ability to test on a live site deploying on render.com. This is a simple example to get started, but hopefully it will provide the foundation for you all to build more complex APIs in the future. If you have any questions, I recommend leaving them in the YouTube comments. ## Setup 1. **Fork the repository**: Click on the 'Fork' button at the top right corner of the repository's GitHub page. This will create a copy of the repository in your own GitHub account. 2. **Clone your forked repository**: Make sure to replace YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME with your username in this command ```bash git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/python-api-example.git 3. **Navigate to directory** ```bash cd python-api-example ``` 4. **Install Python libraries** ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt 5. **Run Flask Endpoint** ```bash python3 app.py ``` 6. **Navigate to server**
Open up URL app is running on (should say when you run above command -- http://127.0.0.1:5000 for example). Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5000/apidocs to see Swagger endpoint specs. 7. **Making changes and pushing to your fork**
After making your changes, you can push them to your forked GitHub repository. ```bash git add -u git commit -m "Your commit message" git push origin lunch-and-learn ``` ## Render.com We will be using [render.com](https://render.com) to deploy our app. Create an account there and connect your Github using the [following instructions](https://render.com/docs/github) ## Airtable As a very simple and easy to set-up DB, we will be using airtable. I'll show in the live stream how to create an API token to use in Python API requests. # first_api
