Overview of this book

Python is a flexible language that can be used for much more than just script development. By knowing the Python RESTful APIs work, you can build a powerful backend for web applications and mobile applications using Python. You'll take your first steps by building a simple API and learning how the frontend web interface can communicate with the backend. You'll also learn how to serialize and deserialize objects using the marshmallow library. Then, you'll learn how to authenticate and authorize users using Flask-JWT. You'll also learn how to enhance your APIs by adding useful features, such as email, image upload, searching, and pagination. You'll wrap up the whole book by deploying your APIs to the cloud. By the end of this book, you'll have the confidence and skill to leverage the power of RESTful APIs and Python to build efficient web applications.

Mailgun

Mailgun is a third-party SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and API sending email provider. Through Mailgun, not only can a large number of emails be sent, but the log for every email can also be traced. You have 10,000 free quotas per month. That means, in the free plan, we can only send, at most, 10,000 emails. This will be enough for our learning purposes.

Mailgun also provides an open RESTful API, which is easy to understand and use. In the following exercise, we will register a Mailgun account, and send an email through the API.

Exercise 40: Get Started with Using Mailgun

To start with, we need to register an account in Mailgun. As we explained before, Mailgun is a third-party platform. We will register a Mailgun account in this exercise. Then, we will obtain the necessary setup information to use their email sending service API:
