Django-Blog-Api

🎯Features

• Token-Based Authentication: Users receive and use unique tokens to securely access and authenticate with API endpoints.

• Authorization: All types of requests are authorized to ensure only authenticated users can access the services.

• Blog Mangement The Blog Management API provides endpoints for creating, updating, and listing blogs. Authenticated users can create and modify blogs using the POST and PUT requests, respectively, while the GET endpoint allows them to retrieve a list of all blog or detailed information about a specific blog using its primary key (pk).

• User Management: The User Authentication API facilitates user registration and login functionalities. Users can register by sending a POST request to the registration endpoint, log in using valid credentials through the login endpoint. JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are used for secure authentication and authorization.

• Note: Note: All endpoints are decorated with @api_view(["POST"]) and @permission_classes([IsAuthenticated]) to ensure authentication and the use of proper HTTP methods. HTTP status codes are appropriately used to indicate the outcome of each operation (e.g., HTTP_201_CREATED for successful creations, HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST for validation errors). Proper naming conventions and modularization have been applied to keep the code organized and readable. All Serializers are utilized for data validation and serialization, promoting code reusability and maintaining consistency.

🚀Technologies Used

• Django 5.0: A high-level Python web framework.
• Django Rest Framework (DRF): A powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.
• PostgreSQL: An open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) known for its reliability and advanced features.
• Token-based Authentication using rest_framework_simplejwt: Token-based authentication for securing API endpoints.
