How do I create a RESTful API using Flask?

To create a RESTful API with Flask, you need to set up a Flask application and define your routes.

What libraries do I need to install?

You should install Flask and Flask-RESTful. You can do this using pip: pip install Flask Flask-RESTful.

Can you show me a simple example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from flask import Flask, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/api/items', methods=['GET'])
def get_items():
    return jsonify({'items': ['item1', 'item2', 'item3']})

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

How do I test this API?

You can test the API using tools like Postman or curl. For example, use curl http://localhost:5000/api/items.
