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.
