next video should be on how to deploy the sites, especially using free services like pythonanywhere

An API is just an interface of callable functions. It can be a code library that simplifies some complex tasks, a web API (which is what this video talks about) or a bunch of functions that a running process on your computer exposes for other programs to interact with

great video, explain the concept in a simple manner, no fuzz, no-frills. I wish a video like this existed when I created my first API a couple of years ago.

Man you don’t understand how valuable this is. Specially when the light bulb moment comes around and you understand exactly what he’s saying and doing. This is an amazing video straight to the point with tons of gems. Thanks

Ohhhh Iwatched it already, I'm giving a rewatch to it and look for a flask course. I can think of making my python scripts accessible from the web. Thats a super power.

6 Years experience in every aspect computing and technology but somehow I never came across API development, very interesting. I've just been calling and calling them but never writing them
