# python-api

This is a personal refresher on how APIs are built with Python. For this project, I am only using the Python modules; not frameworks.

A future update to this project will include authorization and other features.

## To run

In Root folder of this repo, run `python api.py` in your Terminal. That will initiate the server and you will see the message `Starting server on port 8000`.
