Building APIs with Django and DRF will get you started with building APIs in no time.

This book takes over where the Django tutorials stop. In the Django tutorials, you built a regular Django polls app. We will rebuild an API for a similar app.

In the chapters to come, we will build a REST(ish) api with authorization, rate limiting, first with pure Django and then with DRF. We will cover testing, continuous integration, documentation tools and API collaboration tools.
