I want to start learning how to make APIs with python. Would you recommend I use Django in stead?

Look at FastAPI. It's like Flask.

I would say use flask. This is actually because I did not see anything that was so different from the flask apps I have written/seen so far.

I have used both flask and Django. I used flask mostly because it was quicker to implement what I wanted with a lot of movement.

If you are starting out, you may start with flask, then Django. You'd realize that flask and Django has a lot in common.

Start with the cs50 flask course - I learnt a lot from it. Use the flask doc too...
