A continuation of the CodingWithMitchBlog course. Adding a REST API using Django REST-framework

Build a REST API

In this course you'll learn to build a REST API for a website so other technologies can interact with it.

This course is a continuation of the "Building a website with Django (Python)" course. Which is a free course where I show you how to build a website like open-api.xyz.

What you'll learn:

• How to build and customize a Rest API
• User authentication via Django "TokenAuthentication"
• Generating Auth Tokens from a mobile app
• CRUD functionality on a live website:
  
  1. Create blog posts
  2. Retrieve blog posts
  3. Update blog posts
  4. Delete blog posts
• Pagination (very important for mobile apps)
• Serialization of data
• JSON

404 NOT FOUND ERROR

Hey Mitch. First off, very lovely tutorial, although I'm currently stuck in the "Finishing the REST API (User Serialier) section. I noticed whenever I update a user's properties(i.e email and username), I get a 404 response whereas I'm able to view the user's properties(email, username, pk). Please, I need your help with this. What am I doing wrong?
