Overview of this book

RESTful web services are commonly used to create APIs for web-based applications owing to their light weight and high scalability. This book will show you how FastAPI, a high-performance web framework for building RESTful APIs in Python, allows you to build robust web APIs that are simple and intuitive and makes it easy to build quickly with very little boilerplate code. This book will help you set up a FastAPI application in no time and show you how to use FastAPI to build a REST API that receives and responds to user requests. You’ll go on to learn how to handle routing and authentication while working with databases in a FastAPI application. The book walks you through the four key areas: building and using routes for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations; connecting the application to SQL and NoSQL databases; securing the application built; and deploying your application locally or to a cloud environment. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed a solid understanding of the FastAPI framework and be able to build and deploy robust REST APIs.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “To switch back to the original main branch, we run git checkout main.”

A block of code is set as follows:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from routes.user import user_router
import uvicorn

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import List
class Event(BaseModel):
    id: int
    title: str
    image: str
    description: str
    tags: List[str]
    location: str

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ git add hello.txt
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “As shown in the previous model diagram, each user will have an Events field, which is a list of the events they have ownership of.”
