REST-tutorial

Files for my REST API tutorials featuring a server written in Python and a web client written in Javascript. Here are the articles:

• Designing a RESTful API with Python and Flask
• Writing a Javascript REST client
• Designing a RESTful API using Flask-RESTful

Setup

• Install Python 3 and git.
• Run setup.sh (Linux, OS X, Cygwin) or setup.bat (Windows)
• Run ./rest-server.py to start the server (on Windows use flask\Scripts\python rest-server.py instead)
• Alternatively, run ./rest-server-v2.py to start the Flask-RESTful version of the server.
• Open http://localhost:5000/index.html on your web browser to run the client
