To create an API for cats using Python, we can use the Flask web framework. Flask makes it easy to create RESTful APIs that can accept requests and return responses in JSON format.
First, we need to install Flask and a database library such as SQLAlchemy:
main.py41 chars3 lines
Next, we can create a simple Flask application that defines a route for our API endpoint. We'll use SQLAlchemy to set up a database table for storing information about cats:
main.py915 chars28 lines
In this code, we define a Cat
model using SQLAlchemy and set up a GET and POST route for the /cats
endpoint. The GET route retrieves all cats from the database, while the POST route adds a new cat to the database.
Finally, we can run the application and test our API using a tool like Postman:
main.py51 chars3 lines
This is just a basic example, but with Flask and SQLAlchemy, we can build more complex and feature-rich APIs for handling all kinds of requests related to cats.
