Write an API for Almost Anything (or The Amazing Power and Flexibility of Django Rest Framework)
summary
Shows how to add a real API layer with concrete code: Django Rest framework model serializer, model view-set and router lines that map GET POST PUT PATCH DELETE to list and detail URLs, plus browsable API auth, read‑only or permissioned endpoints, and sample tests using DRF test case. Gives two applied examples — stripping client names from a schedule for a massage therapist and a game backend — and notes Factory Boy for fixtures and docs generation via DRF.
