Introduction

This tutorial will cover creating a simple pastebin code highlighting Web API. Along the way it will introduce the various components that make up REST framework, and give you a comprehensive understanding of how everything fits together.

The tutorial is fairly in-depth, so you should probably get a cookie and a cup of your favorite brew before getting started. If you just want a quick overview, you should head over to the quickstart documentation instead.

Note: The code for this tutorial is available in the encode/rest-framework-tutorial repository on GitHub. The completed implementation is also online as a sandbox version for testing, available here.
