APIs with Django: Design, Develop, and Deploy High-Performance REST APIs Using Python and DRF

By Jose Gobert

Build powerful, secure, and scalable REST APIs with Django and Django REST Framework - the professional way. Whether you're developing APIs for a frontend application, a mobile app, or third-party integrations, this book gives you everything you need to move from concept to deployment with clarity, control, and confidence.

APIs with Django is a hands-on, deeply technical guide to designing and delivering real-world APIs using Django, the Python web framework trusted by top engineering teams worldwide. You'll start with the fundamentals - understanding REST principles, crafting clean endpoints, and modeling your data with Django ORM - and progress to building advanced features like token authentication, role-based access control, API versioning, pagination, background processing with Celery, and asynchronous endpoints with Django's async capabilities.

Through complete code examples, practical exercises, and production-grade patterns, this book goes far beyond scaffolding and covers what truly matters in modern API engineering:

Building reliable serializers and reusable viewsetsValidating, securing, and throttling requestsWriting automated tests and ensuring coverageManaging migrations, deployments, and secretsGenerating interactive API documentation with Swagger and ReDocStructuring scalable projects and preparing for microservices

You'll also learn how to containerize your app using Docker, run it behind Gunicorn and Nginx, and automate your CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions-so you can deliver confidently and deploy continuously.

Whether you're a backend developer looking to sharpen your Django skills or a full-stack engineer responsible for shipping production APIs, this book doesn't just show you how to build endpoints-it teaches you how to build complete, professional-grade API systems that are clean, maintainable, well-documented, and ready for real-world use.

Start writing APIs that scale. Learn how to think like a backend engineer, build like a professional, and ship Django APIs you'll be proud to support in production. This book is your complete roadmap-from your first endpoint to a full-scale, deployed REST API system. Grab your copy now and take control of your API development workflow.
