Summary

In this chapter, we have learned a lot of things. The data verification of an API through marshmallow is very important. This function should also be constantly updated in the production environment to ensure that the information we receive is correct.

In this chapter, we started with the verification of registered members and then talked about basic verification methods, such as setting mandatory fields, performing data type validation, and so on. Apart from data validation, marshmallow can be used for data filtering as well. We can use the exclude parameter to display the user email field. Based on what we learned, we then developed customized verifications for our application, such as verifying the length of the recipe creation time.
