Hey @itzsakshi26gupta

All web development frameworks provide helper components required to make APIs with custom URLs (like Django and Flask). APIs can also be made without the help from these frameworks too because an API is just an interface which specifies how software components should interact with your website.
Also, it is possible for different URLs to serve the exact same data.

can you please describe with an example how to form the url :slightly_smiling_face:
thanks

Let’s assume you own a Social Networking Website www.abc.com
Now you want to create an API endpoint which gives the basic info of a person.
Then, you can define an endpoint as www.abc.com/user?id=

You can do this in flask as:

from flask import request

@app.route('/user', methods=['GET'])
def get_user_info():
    pass # Do the processing here

Hope this helps!
