Blockchain Nanodegree 预修知识之三：RESTful APIs(3)

Lesson 3: API Endpoints

API Endpoints with Flask

Hello world

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return "Hello, world!"
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

Json

from flask import jsonify
@app.route('/_get_current_user')
def get_current_user():
    return jsonify(username=g.user.username, email.g.user.email, id=g.user.id)

This will send a JSON response like this to the browser:

{
    "username": "admin",
    "email":"admin@localhost",
    "id":42
}

Making an Endpoint with Flask

1. Download the endpoints.py file provided in the instructor notes.
2. Create the appropriate app.route() functions
3. Test and see if they work using the endpoints_tester.py file

Responding to Different Kinds of Requests

@app.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST'])

1. Add POST, PUT and DELETE methods for the appropriate endpoints in this new version of endpoints_project2.py
2. Run the endpoint_tester2.py file to check and see if these requests successfully executed.

Serializing Data from the Database

1. Download endpoints_project3.py and model.py
2. Add a serialize decorator to the database model in order to properly create json objects from the results of database queries
3. Run the endpoint_tester3.py file to see if your serializer worked properly.

Adding Features to your Mashup

1. Download the starter files

2. Inside views.py you will add the following routes and python code:

   • /restaurants to view all the restaurants in your database and post a new restaurant(GET, POST)
   • /restaurants/<int:id> to get the specific information about a restaurant, update its name, address, or image or delete it from the database. (GET, PUT, DELETE)

3. When you are finished , use the tester.py file to test the functionality of your web app’s API endpoints.
