Introduction

In this lesson, we will enhance our To-Do API by adding filtering capabilities. Filtering is vital for any API as it allows users to retrieve specific subsets of data based on criteria like completion status or priority. Imagine you have a large list of tasks and you want to see only the completed ones or those with a specific priority. That's where filtering comes into play.

Let's dive into the process of incorporating filtering into our Django application, making our To-Do API more powerful and user-friendly.
