A blog API in Django is an API that allows developers to interact with a blog's data, such as posts, comments, and categories, using Django as the backend. To create a blog API in Django, you can use the Django Rest Framework, which is a powerful tool for building APIs in Django. This framework allows you to create views, serializers, and routers that handle the data and interactions with the API. The views handle the logic of the API and how it responds to requests, the serializers handle the data and how it is formatted when sent and received, and the routers handle the URL patterns and routing for the API. Once the API is developed, it can be integrated into a web or mobile application to allow users to interact with the blog data

python manage.py runserver
Django rest framework is one of the most popular web framework for building rest APIs in Django. We will be seeing how we can create CRUD APIs in the Django rest framework. Also, we will be seeing how we can implement JWT authentication, pagination and search functionality in this application. You will be learning some of the core concepts of the Django rest framework like serializer, APIView, response, and status code in the Django rest framework.
