This workshop will give you a brief introduction to web-based API development.
Time: Friday, 28 June 2024. 7:00pm - 10:00pm
Venue: Singapore Management University @ 81 Victoria St, Singapore 188065
You will learn the fundamentals of deploying a REST API on a server running in the cloud and automating the deployment using CI/CD pipelines. Next, you will be understanding the various security mechanisms (Basic, Keys, Tokens, etc.) for securing APIs and dive deep into OAuth2.0. Finally, we will wrap up with another important concept called CORS when building web APIs.
In a hands-on exercise, you will be introduced to GitHub Actions (CI/CD platform) and Railway (Cloud Application Provider) will be used in conjunction to deploy the REST API in an automated fashion. Afterwards, in the second hands-on exercise, you will learn to implement OAuth2.0 with the FastAPI framework in Python.
Before you start the workshop, make sure you have these:
- Python 3.6+ installed in your system
- A code editor such as Visual Studio Code
- Postman API Platform Desktop App
- Railway Free Account
