Programa tu propia PokeApi: Python/Flask y subela a Internet

Build Your Own API with Python & Flask

This comprehensive Python course guides you through creating and deploying your own API, specifically a PokeAPI, using the power of Python and Flask. You'll gain practical skills to build web services and understand how they function.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Python Fundamentals: Master core Python concepts including:
  • Data types: int, str, float, boolean and more.
  • String manipulation (str): Learn common methods for working with text.
  • Lists and Dictionaries: Understand and utilize these fundamental data structures.
  • Control Flow: Implement conditional statements (if) and loops (for, while).
  • Functions: Explore lambda functions and defined methods.
• Setting Up Your Development Environment:
  • Install and configure Python 3 for optimal performance.
  • Utilize PyScripter, a lightweight and powerful IDE for Windows.
  • Manage dependencies with pip, Python's package installer.
• API Development with Flask:
  • Build a fully functional PokeAPI using Python and Flask.
  • Understand how to handle requests and responses in JSON format.
  • Learn to create and manage API endpoints.
• Working with External APIs:
  • Make requests to any API, both local and online, using the requests module.
  • Process and extract data from API responses.
• File Handling & Data Management:
  • Read and write data to text files.
  • Work with binary data, including downloading images from the internet.
  • Optimize image sizes for faster API performance.
• Version Control & Deployment:
