📡 API
This project includes RESTful API endpoints using Django REST Framework (DRF). You can build backend services or integrate with a frontend (like React/Vue/Flutter) or mobile app.

To test the API, you can use tools like Postman or cURL.

Example endpoints:

GET /api/items/ – List all items

POST /api/items/ – Create a new item

GET /api/items/<id>/ – Retrieve a specific item

(Endpoints may vary depending on your models – update this section accordingly if needed)
