Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. API-ocalypse Now: Python's Guide to Secure and Flexible Data HandlingWelcome to the jungle-no, not that jungle, the API jungle! Whether you're knee-deep in legacy code or just starting to explore the wilds of application development, API-ocalypse Now is your indispensable survival guide. With Python as your machete and FastAPI as your trusted map, you'll cut through the undergrowth of modern API development and come out the other side a coding hero.This isn't your typical API textbook-it's a field guide, packed with real-world lessons learned from decades in the trenches of software development. Expect plenty of humor to keep things light as you wrangle complex architectures, security pitfalls, and performance tweaks.What's Inside: FastAPI Fundamentals: Get up and running with FastAPI, the new star of Python frameworks, and learn why it's not just a fast riser, but a fast performer. You'll set up your development environment in minutes and build your first API endpoint before you finish that cup of coffee.Data Validation with Pydantic: Want your API to run smoothly and avoid the usual bad data disasters? Pydantic's data validation features have your back. You'll also learn creative ways to wrangle complex data models, so your API will always play nice with the real world.SQLAlchemy & Databases: Tired of dealing with raw SQL? Master the power of SQLAlchemy to interact with your databases in style. You'll work with SQLite to start, but if you need to level up with PostgreSQL or MySQL, we've got you covered.Jinja2 & Full-Stack Fun: We don't stop at APIs. You'll build a simple frontend using Jinja2 templating so you can say you've gone full-stack without breaking a sweat.JWT Authentication & API Security: Keep the bad guys at bay with secure, battle-tested authentication practices. Learn how to implement JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for authentication like a pro, and discover why API security is something you should be obsessing over (in a good way).Swagger & Auto-Generated Documentation: Forget manually writing API documentation. FastAPI auto-generates beautiful, interactive docs for you, making testing a breeze. Swagger might just be your new best friend.Performance Tuning and Scalability: Your API is up and running, but can it scale? Learn how to profile your code, optimize database queries, and ensure your API runs smoothly even when the user traffic starts pouring in.Real-Time Features with WebSockets: In a world of instant gratification, adding real-time functionality to your API is a game-changer. Dive into WebSockets and build real-time notification features to impress your users.Penetration Testing & API Security Validation: Once your API is live, can it withstand attacks? We'll walk you through tools like OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite to ensure your API is locked down and bulletproof.Why This Book?It's Fun: API development doesn't have to be a dry, monotonous slog. With a sprinkle of wit and plenty of real-world examples, you'll enjoy learning about securing and scaling APIs without nodding off.It's Practical: No theory-only fluff here. You'll walk away with functional, scalable, and secure APIs that are ready to deploy in production. And if you follow the steps, you'll even build a full-stack app by the time you finish.It's for Everyone: Whether you're new to APIs, an experienced Pythonista, or just someone who likes to tinker with the latest web technologies, API-ocalypse Now is designed to meet you where you are.Bonus: Code examples are provided in a downloadable GitHub repository, so you can hit the ground running without typing out code from Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
