This repo shows how to create a simple RESTful API using the Flask web framework. Among the included features, you'll see how to:

• Return custom status codes and headers ⚡️
• Create resources using POST requests 📬
• Deleting resources using DELETE requests 📭
• Test the application using Flask's test client 🔮

There's a detailed video lesson on how to perform the deploy in our Free Flask Tutorial.
