This is a preview of the video course, "Interacting With REST APIs and Python." There’s an amazing amount of data available on the Web. Many web services, like YouTube and GitHub, make their data accessible to third-party applications through an application programming interface (API). Python provides some great tools not only to get data from REST APIs but also to build your own Python REST APIs.

This is a portion of the complete course, which you can find here:
