What is Django?
• Definition: Django is a high-level Python web 
framework that encourages rapid development and 
clean, pragmatic design.
      Key Features
• MVC (Model-View-Controller) structure
• Built-in admin interface
• ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) system

• Middleware support
 Understanding RESTful APIs
What is REST?
• Representational State Transfer (REST) is an 
architectural style for creating scalable web 
services.
• Based on HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, 
DELETE, etc.
Why Use REST with Django?

• Allows for a standardized, decoupled 
architecture
Setting Up 
DjangoREST Framework (DRF)
• Installing Django and DRF
Commands: pip install django and pip install 
djangorestframework
• Setting Up a Django Project
django-admin startproject projectname
• Adding DRF to Django Project
Update INSTALLED_APPS with 'rest_framework'

Building Your First APIEndpoint
• Define the Model : Create Django models to 
represent data.
 Create a Serializer:
• Purpose: Convert Django model instances to JSON format 
and vice versa.
•  Example: from rest_framework import serializers
 Define Views and URL Patterns:
• Use Django views to handle API requests
• Set up URhLt trpos:u//ntairnegsh ift.ocorm A/cPoIu resensd/dpjaongino-tonline-training
API Authentication & Permissions
• Types of Authentication in DRF:
⚬ Basic, Token, and Session Authentication
• Permissions:
⚬ Configure who can access which resources
⚬ Use built-in permissions (IsAuthenticated, 
IsAdminUser) or custom permissions
https://nareshit.com/courses/django-online-training
Advanced API Features
• Pagination: Limit the number of items returned in 
API responses
• Filtering: Retrieve specific data based on parameters
• Versioning: Enable version control for APIs to 
support backward compatibility

Testing Your APIs
• Why Testing is Important
⚬ Ensures reliability and prevents regressions.
• Tools for Testing
⚬ Django’s built-in testing framework
⚬ DRF test utilities and tools like Postman for API 
testing

Deploying Django REST APIs
• Hosting Options: Deploy APIs on platforms like 
Heroku, DigitalOcean, or AWS.
• Configuring for Production:
⚬ Secure settings, database configurations, and 
static files management.
• Containerization: Use Docker for consistent 
deployment across environments.

Project and Hands-On Exercises
• Final Project: Develop a small application with 
multiple endpoints, CRUD operations, and 
authentication.
• Hands-On Exercises:
⚬ Creating serializers and views
⚬ Adding custom permissions
⚬ Integrating with a front-end application (optional)
