I'm trying to build a niche social network like Instagram as a Python/Django application.
So the things I need, regarding architecture, are (I guess):
Before this I only built simple to some less-simple websites, but never extremely complex with own custom APIs or so. I have never build my own REST API before (I have used other REST APIs though) or even built an Android/iPhone app and distributed it in the Play Store/App Store (I have made some typical hello world examples though).
So, the most important thing to me seems to create a kick-ass REST API first and proceed from there. I am blocked however by a few questions.
Thanks in advance for any help! If somebody knows some great presentations or so on this topic (architecture), always welcome!
Kind regards, Kristof

Django REST framework is an open source, flexible and fully-featured library with modular and customizable architecture that aims at building sophisticated web APIs and uses Python and Django.
Django REST framework (DRF) is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs. Its main benefit is that it makes serialization much easier. Django REST framework is based on Django's class-based views, so it's an excellent option if you're familiar with Django.
Django is the web development framework in python whereas the Django Rest Framework is the library used in Django to build Rest APIs. Django Rest Framework is especially designed to make the CRUD operations easier to design in Django. Django Rest Framework makes it easy to use your Django Server as an REST API.
