Advanced Django: Introduction to Django Rest Framework

Codio moves an existing Django learner from rendered pages to an API. REST concepts lead into serializers, views and relationships, then broader API features. The roughly nine-hour course assumes a foundation equivalent to Django for Everybody, making it a continuation for developers who can already build a basic site.

What you will learn

• Represent Django records through REST Framework serializers.
• Connect views, routers and related resources into an API.
• Inspect authentication and permission behavior with an API client.

Who this suits

Django developers moving toward an application consumed by other software.

Before you enroll

The provider marks this advanced and expects an established Django foundation. Check the API examples against the installed REST Framework version.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Tool subscriptions, model API usage and cloud services may cost extra.

Put it into practice

Expose a read-only catalog endpoint with a related author record. Test a valid lookup, an unknown identifier and a request that lacks the required permission.
