Creating an API REST with Python, Flask and SQLite3

In this Python programming tutorial you will learn how to create a REST API using Flask, SQLite 3 (for data), and JSON for data communication.

In the end you will have an API that you can consume from any client that could be an Android application, a browser with JavaScript or even another server language.

I will show you how to create an API that communicates using JSON and saves the data in SQLite 3. The API will be created with Flask, and we will use the Python programming language to handle all the data.

API REST with Go and MySQL

In this article about programming in the Go language (also known as Golang) we will see how to create a REST API that communicates through JSON, saving and displaying data from a MySQL / MariaDB database.

In the end we will have a REST API with Go using the 4 methods: POST, PUT, DELETE and GET using the Mux router. We are also going to implement the 4 operations of a database: insert, update, delete and select.

I will leave the full open source code at the end of the post.

Note: this tutorial uses PDO, but remember that we can also use mysqli functions. Personally I recommend PDO, because it is object oriented. However, I hope to write a tutorial about mysqli in the future.
