Devpost Hacker Blog API

• 

  Devpost Postman Collection

Inspiration

Devpost as a platform has no blog section/feature where hackers can write about their collective or individual experiences and share them on different social media platforms, thus marketing both Devpost and themselves through content creation

What it does

This is a blog API that has authentication endpoints (Register, Login, and Logout), endpoints to create and manage articles, and some endpoints for comments too.

How we built it

Built the API using Django Rest Framework, and used Postgresql as a database.

Challenges we ran into

Bugged the codebase while trying to refactor certain functionalities. I was glad when I got to fix them.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building this API before the deadline elapsed and documenting it properly.

What we learned

How to best use Django Rest Framework's generic API views

What's next for Devpost Hacker Blog API

Build more on it, expand it to accommodate more endpoints and also integrate ChapGPT; and AI may help in generating article content from the summary of a hacker's hackathon experience.
