I am the leader of a technical team that works on a software development project so that my company can grow its services to external developers through API. How can I use the API in order to streamline the process of exposing these APIs?

If you want to expand the services of your company to external Developers then APIM or API are the best resource you have for this specific purpose. Here are the basic examples given using Python and Flask in order to create a simple API:-

Step 1 Create An API Endpoint

From Flask import Flask, jsonify

App = Flask(__name__)

# Define an endpoint for developers to access your service

@app.route(‘/api/v1/hello’, methods=[‘GET’])

Def hello():

    Return jsonify({‘message’: ‘Hello, developer! Welcome to our API.’})

If __name__ == ‘__main__’:

    App.run(debug=True)

Step 2 Run the flask server by using

“ python  your_file_ name.py

Step-3 Acess the API by using HTTP GET requests

“/api/ v1/ hello
