Summary

Creating an API with REST specifications is easy with Python web frameworks. Flask makes it simple to coordinate the URL endpoints with request methods and response types. With built-in JSON capabilities, and with the use of the SQLAlchemy and GeoAlchemy2 ORMs, Flask is a perfect framework for creating a geospatial REST API.

In the next chapter, we will cover the use of the CARTOframes module for cloud visualization of geospatial data.
