REST APIs & FastAPI for Beginners: Phase 1 and Phase 2 Almost every app you use talks to an API: weather, payments, maps, login. This two-part guide takes you from "what is an API?" to building, securing and testing your own with FastAPI. Each phase has a short video and a written walkthrough, so you can watch, read, or do both. What you will learn Phase 1: how HTTP and REST work, and how to call any API from Python. Phase 2: how to build your own API with FastAPI, with validation, authentication and tests. You only need basic Python. Phase 3 (databases) comes after these two.
