This is the code used in 67-272 to teach the basics of building an API. There are several branches here to demonstrate different aspects of API building. The branches build in a cumulative fashion, so the order to review these branches is:

• basics -- this is the most basic API possible

• swagger -- this version is where we document the API with Swagger docs

• serializers -- this version does some basic serialization to allow us to generate more interesting JSON

• adv_serializers -- a more advanced version of the prior branch

• cors -- allowing for cross origin resource sharing

• filtering -- this version adds flexibility to the API allowing us to filter and order results as needed

• adv_filtering -- this version refactors the previous branch to reduce some obvious code duplication

• auth -- adding some authentication for the API to restrict access

• versioning -- creating versions of the API

• rackattack -- throttling access to the API to stop excessive usage
