Discover how to create a simple, RESTful web API with Node.js—the popular javascript runtime environment—and the Express web framework. Emmanuel Henri demonstrates how to set up the project, including the Express server and testing environment, and create the endpoints needed to add, update, and delete data from a MongoDB database. At the end of the course, he shows how to serve static files such as images with your new API, and explores additional libraries that can help streamline API development, such as Koa and LoopBack.

APIs serve as a bridge between different applications or systems, allowing us to efficiently share our data with the world. REST, an architectural style that defines how to build APIs, is popular, modern, and lightweight. In this course, discover how to create a RESTful API of your own. Join instructor Zuzana Kunckova as she demonstrates how to build a RESTful API using Laravel, the popular PHP framework. Learn how to set up your application, including how to create the database structure and set up RESTful API routes. Discover how to build your RESTful API and save, display, update, and delete resources Plus, explore how to use Postman to test your API and ensure that it works as expected.
