Python exercise: write a todo API

• Difficulty: easy
• Time to complete: 2-4h

Functional specs

Write an API with the following endpoints:

GET /todos
GET /todos/{id}
POST /todos {title: "Buy toaster", status: "todo"}
PUT /todos/{id} {title: "Buy toaster for my dog"}
DELETE /todos/{id}

Technical specs

You are free to choose a db. We recommend postgres (relational) or Redis (non-relational).

You are free to choose any library, but we recommend the following setup in 2021:

• poetry: package management
• fastapi: web framework
• SQLAlchemy: ORM (if you chose a relational DB)

To go further

Functional specs:

• Add due dates, order GET /todos by due date.

Developer experience:

• Add tests with pytest
• Add types with mypy
• Add linting with flake8
• Add autoformatting with black and isort
