We’ll start by learning FastAPI’s key features and core use cases. Then we will run our first application and test it out! Finally, we will learn the details of supporting GET and POST operations that include request parameters and build and test those endpoints.

Why FastAPI?

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/")
def root():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

First application

GET operations

from ____ import ____

app = ____()


@app.get("/")
def root():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}


from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/")
def root():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}


Hello world

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/")
def root(____: str = "____"):
    return {"message": f"Hello {____}"}


from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/")
def root(name: str = "Alan"):
    return {"message": f"Hello {name}"}

Hello who?

POST operations

Pydantic model

from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

# Define model Item
class ____(BaseModel):
    ____: str

app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/")
def root(item: Item):
    name = item.name
    return {"message": f"We have {name}"}

from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

# Define model Item
class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str

app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/")
def root(item: Item):
    name = item.name
    return {"message": f"We have {name}"}

POST operation in action

FastAPI Basics

We’ll start by learning how to support PUT and DELETE operations using FastAPI. Then we will learn how to handle different kinds of errors and always return an appropriate status code in the response. Lastly we'll learn how to use async to enable concurrent requests that can handle higher workloads.

FastAPI Advanced topics

We'll start by learning how to write system tests to validate individual FastAPI endpoints. Next we'll build a full JSON CRUD API to manage object lifecycles over HTTP. Finally, we'll learn how to test different application endpoints working together with manual functional tests.

Building and testing a JSON CRUD API

This course teaches you to build production-grade web applications using FastAPI, a popular Python framework for creating APIs. You'll learn to handle all four HTTP operations, define request and response schemas, validate API requests, and return appropriate HTTP status codes. You'll also cover asynchronous code execution to boost performance, and by the end, you’ll develop a CRUD API and test workflows with Python's requests module. Tailored for experienced Python programmers, this course equips you with the skills to manage data with FastAPI, preparing you to build robust data management and ML model-serving pipelines.

<h2>Introduction to FastAPI and Its Applications</h2> APIs are commonly used to manage data on the web, and FastAPI is a popular new web framework for building APIs with Python. Data and Machine Learning Engineers leverage FastAPI to build applications that serve as context-aware data transactions and pipelines on the web.<br><br> <h2>Building Production-Grade Web Applications with FastAPI</h2> In this course, you will learn how to build production-grade web applications leveraging your Python skills with the FastAPI framework. By the end, you’ll understand core use cases for FastAPI in relation to other Python web frameworks. You’ll learn to build APIs using all four types of HTTP operations and define request and response schemas. In addition, you’ll validate API requests, respond with appropriate HTTP status codes and messages, and execute code asynchronously to improve application performance. A hands-on project will guide you through building a classical CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) API, testing workflows using Python's requests module.<br><br> <h2>Course Goals and Target Audience</h2> This course is designed for experienced Python programmers who want to build web applications that manage data using FastAPI. Upon completing this course, you will have the foundation necessary to create FastAPI projects suited for high-throughput data management and ML model-serving pipelines.
