Very nice tutorial, but your forgot to mention a important point.

For make POST and PUT requests working, we have to specify Content-Type:application/json in the request header.

In the video, when you test the API POST with Postman (9:14), if we carefully watch, we can notice you already specified it, but don't you think many of us won't see this "detail" ?

Maybe you could add this explanation in the video description or with Youtube annotation or closed caption.
