Public API Provides data or functionality for developers to use
The Public API is a Python project that allows users to create and deploy an API that provides structured data or functionalities for developers. This API can serve as a data provider, automation tool, or integration service, making it useful for various applications like weather updates, currency conversion, news feeds, or user authentication. Developers can consume this API to build their own applications without needing direct database access.
Key Features:
✅ RESTful API – Supports GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests
✅ Fast & Scalable – Uses Flask for lightweight API creation
✅ JSON Response Format – Returns structured data for easy integration
✅ Secure Access – Can include API key authentication
✅ Multiple Endpoints – Customizable endpoints based on user needs
Technology Used:
🟢 Python
🟢 Flask – For building the API
🟢 Requests – For handling HTTP requests
🟢 JSON – For structured data exchange
Use Cases:
• Weather API – Provide real-time weather updates
• Currency Exchange API – Convert currency rates dynamically
• User Authentication API – Verify and manage user logins
• News API – Deliver latest news from different sources
• Custom APIs – Create endpoints for specific business needs
