Environment Setup: Installed Python and PyCharm on my system. Set up a MySQL database server. Used pip to install Flask and other necessary libraries. Project Initialization:

Created a new project in PyCharm. Set up a virtual environment to manage dependencies. Database Configuration:

Created a MySQL database and a table with attributes including creation and updation timestamps. Configured the connection to the MySQL database using SQLAlchemy in Flask. Flask Application Setup:

Initialized a Flask application. Configured Flask with the MySQL database using SQLAlchemy.

CRUD Operations Implementation: Create (POST): Implemented API endpoints to add new records to the database, capturing the creation timestamp. Read (GET): Implemented API endpoints to fetch records from the database. Update (PUT/PATCH): Implemented API endpoints to update existing records, capturing the updation timestamp. Delete (DELETE): Implemented API endpoints to delete records from the database.

RESTful API Design: Designed RESTful API endpoints following best practices for naming and structuring. Ensured proper HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) were used for respective operations.
