Hands-On APIs for AI and Data Science (Early Release)

APIs and the Python programming language are among the most important technologies that make modern data science and generative AI work. With this practical book, data scientists and software developers will gain hands-on experience developing APIs and using them in generative AI and data science projects.

Part one takes you step-by-step through coding projects to build APIs using Python and FastAPI and deploy them in the cloud. Part two helps you consume APIs in a data science project using industry-standard tools. In part three, you'll use ChatGPT Actions, the LangChain framework, and other tools to access your APIs with generative AI and large language models (LLMs).

As you complete the chapters in the book, you'll create a professional online portfolio demonstrating your new skill with APIs, AI, and data science.

You'll learn how to

Design APIs that are useful to data scientists and AI applications
Develop APIs using Python and FastAPI
Deploy APIs using multiple cloud providers
Create API documentation and generate a rich OpenAPI specification
Create data science projects such as visualizations and models using APIs as a data source
Access APIs using generative AI and LLMs
