A zero-config API for Django projects

This is a quick way of getting a server-side API up and running. I use it when starting a Backbone or Angular project, to quickly get a server up and running without having to write a ton of code.

This isn't intended for production use (as it exposes your entire database), you'll want to check out tastypie at some point.

Run the following command from the command prompt:

python setup.py install

Add zcapi to your installed apps in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # Snip
    'zcapi',
)

Include the zcapi URLs in urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Snip
    url(r'^api/', include('zcapi.urls')),
)

All models in your project will be available through the API.

Send a GET request to myapp/mymodel for a list of all instances, or to myapp/mymodel/1 for a specific instance (with PK=1 for this example).

Send a POST request to the list URL to create an instance, or to a particular instance's URL to update that instance.

Send a DELETE request to the list URL to delete every instance, or to a particular instance's URL to delete that instance.
