Django REST Framework Blog API

This project is a Django REST Framework application for building a blog API. Users can register, create, read, update, and delete blog posts. The application also includes JWT authentication, pagination, search functionality, and the ability to retrieve random blog posts.

Features

• User registration and JWT authentication (handled by the account app)
• CRUD operations for blog posts (potentially handled by the home app, functionality depends on app implementation)
• Pagination for displaying blog posts (functionality likely resides in the app handling blog posts)
• Search functionality for finding blog posts by keyword (functionality likely resides in the app handling blog posts)
• Retrieval of random blog posts (functionality likely resides in the app handling blog posts)

Prerequisites

• Python (version 3.x recommended)
• pip (package installer for Python)
• A code editor or IDE

Installation

1. Clone this repository.
2. Create a virtual environment and activate it.
3. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Apply database migrations:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

5. Run the development server:

python manage.py runserver

The API will be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ by default.

Usage

• Refer to the Django REST Framework documentation for detailed information on using the API: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/
• User registration and authentication likely happens under the /account/ URL path (specific endpoints depend on the account app implementation).
• JWT authentication is required for accessing most API endpoints related to blog posts. You can obtain a JWT token by registering a user. Include the JWT token in the Authorization header of subsequent requests.

Additional Notes

• Refer to the codebase for specific details on how each endpoint is implemented, including which app handles blog post functionality.
• This is a basic implementation and can be extended further based on your specific needs.

Contributing

Feel free to fork this repository and contribute by creating pull requests.

Updates based on URLs:

• The text mentions that specific functionalities like CRUD for blog posts, search, and random retrieval likely reside in the app mapped to the /home/ URL path in urls.py. This is because the provided URL structure suggests the account app might handle user-related functionalities (registration, authentication) while another app might manage blog posts.
• The example assumes blog post functionality resides under /api/home/blogs/. Update the example URL accordingly based on the actual implementation in your code.
