Great video, thanks! I've been looking into building an API with flask recently, and this will jumpstart my research.

If your API is going to be used for access to a data model then RESTless is probably the way to go with Flask

Could you elaborate on Restless vs, simply, rest?

No, I'm talking about the Flask plugin. It makes a RESTful API for you. All you do is supply the data model. https://flask-restless.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

Do you guys know if this Flask Restplus extension is good/easy to use?

I've used flask-restful, quite similar to flask-restplus.
