Paul Hallett - What it's really like building RESTful APIs with Django At the beginning of this year I started working at Lyst and I was tasked with helping to replace their old and outdated web API with a modern RESTful replacement. Along the way we encountered some interesting design decisions and now I’m going to share what we learned about building a real RESTful API with Django and Django REST framework. I've been talking about how to build great RESTful APIs for the past year at various Python and Django conferences in Europe. Now I'd like to take some real world experiences from creating Lyst's new web API and share what I've learned along the way.
