FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints.
|
||
|
||
The key features are:
|
||
|
||
* **Fast**: Very high performance, on par with **NodeJS** and **Go** (thanks to Starlette and Pydantic). [One of the fastest Python frameworks available](#performance).
|
||
|
||
* **Fast to code**: Increase the speed to develop features by about 200% to 300%. *
|
||
* **Fewer bugs**: Reduce about 40% of human (developer) induced errors. *
|
||
* **Intuitive**: Great editor support. <abbr title="also known as auto-complete, autocompletion, IntelliSense">Completion</abbr> everywhere. Less time debugging.
|
||
* **Easy**: Designed to be easy to use and learn. Less time reading docs.
|
||
* **Short**: Minimize code duplication. Multiple features from each parameter declaration. Fewer bugs.
|
||
* **Robust**: Get production-ready code. With automatic interactive documentation.
|
||
* **Standards-based**: Based on (and fully compatible with) the open standards for APIs: <a href="https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification" class="external-link" target="_blank">OpenAPI</a> (previously known as Swagger) and <a href="https://json-schema.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">JSON Schema</a>.

If you are building a <abbr title="Command Line Interface">CLI</abbr> app to be used in the terminal instead of a web API, check out <a href="https://typer.tiangolo.com/" class="external-link" target="_blank">**Typer**</a>.
|
||
|
||
**Typer** is FastAPI's little sibling. And it's intended to be the **FastAPI of CLIs**. ⌨️ 🚀
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
Python 3.6+
|
||
|
||
FastAPI stands on the shoulders of giants:
|
||
|
||
* <a href="https://www.starlette.io/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Starlette</a> for the web parts.
|
||
* <a href="https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Pydantic</a> for the data parts.
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
<div class="termy">
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ pip install fastapi
|
||
|
||
---> 100%
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
You will also need an ASGI server, for production such as <a href="https://www.uvicorn.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">Uvicorn</a> or <a href="https://gitlab.com/pgjones/hypercorn" class="external-link" target="_blank">Hypercorn</a>.
|
||
|
||
<div class="termy">
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ pip install uvicorn[standard]
|
||
|
||
---> 100%
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
## Example
|
||
|
||
### Create it
|
||
|
||
* Create a file `main.py` with:
|
||
|
||
```Python
|
||
from typing import Optional
|
||
|
||
from fastapi import FastAPI
|
||
|
||
app = FastAPI()
|
||
|
||
|
||
@app.get("/")
|
||
def read_root():
|
||
return {"Hello": "World"}
|
||
|
||
|
||
@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
|
||
def read_item(item_id: int, q: Optional[str] = None):
|
||
return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<details markdown="1">
|
||
<summary>Or use <code>async def</code>...</summary>
|
||
|
||
If your code uses `async` / `await`, use `async def`:
|
||
|
||
```Python hl_lines="9 14"
|
||
from typing import Optional
|
||
|
||
from fastapi import FastAPI
|
||
|
||
app = FastAPI()
|
||
|
||
|
||
@app.get("/")
|
||
async def read_root():
|
||
return {"Hello": "World"}
|
||
|
||
|
||
@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
|
||
async def read_item(item_id: int, q: Optional[str] = None):
|
||
return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Note**:
|
||
|
||
If you don't know, check the _"In a hurry?"_ section about <a href="https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/async/#in-a-hurry" target="_blank">`async` and `await` in the docs</a>.
|
||
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||
### Run it
|
||
|
||
Run the server with:
|
||
|
||
<div class="termy">
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ uvicorn main:app --reload
|
||
|
||
INFO: Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
|
||
INFO: Started reloader process [28720]
|
||
INFO: Started server process [28722]
|
||
INFO: Waiting for application startup.
|
||
INFO: Application startup complete.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<details markdown="1">
|
||
<summary>About the command <code>uvicorn main:app --reload</code>...</summary>
|
||
|
||
The command `uvicorn main:app` refers to:
|
||
|
||
* `main`: the file `main.py` (the Python "module").
|
||
* `app`: the object created inside of `main.py` with the line `app = FastAPI()`.
|
||
* `--reload`: make the server restart after code changes. Only do this for development.
|
||
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||
### Check it
|
||
|
||
Open your browser at <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/5?q=somequery" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/5?q=somequery</a>.
|
||
|
||
You will see the JSON response as:
|
||
|
||
```JSON
|
||
{"item_id": 5, "q": "somequery"}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You already created an API that:
|
||
|
||
* Receives HTTP requests in the _paths_ `/` and `/items/{item_id}`.
|
||
* Both _paths_ take `GET` <em>operations</em> (also known as HTTP _methods_).
|
||
* The _path_ `/items/{item_id}` has a _path parameter_ `item_id` that should be an `int`.
|
||
* The _path_ `/items/{item_id}` has an optional `str` _query parameter_ `q`.
|
||
|
||
### Interactive API docs
|
||
|
||
Now go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs</a>.
|
||
|
||
You will see the automatic interactive API documentation (provided by <a href="https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui" class="external-link" target="_blank">Swagger UI</a>):
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Alternative API docs
|
||
|
||
And now, go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/redoc" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/redoc</a>.
|
||

You will see the alternative automatic documentation (provided by <a href="https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc" class="external-link" target="_blank">ReDoc</a>):
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Example upgrade
|
||
|
||
Now modify the file `main.py` to receive a body from a `PUT` request.
|
||
|
||
Declare the body using standard Python types, thanks to Pydantic.
|
||
|
||
```Python hl_lines="4 9-12 25-27"
|
||
from typing import Optional
|
||
|
||
from fastapi import FastAPI
|
||
from pydantic import BaseModel
|
||
|
||
app = FastAPI()
|
||
|
||
|
||
class Item(BaseModel):
|
||
name: str
|
||
price: float
|
||
is_offer: Optional[bool] = None
|
||
|
||
|
||
@app.get("/")
|
||
def read_root():
|
||
return {"Hello": "World"}
|
||
|
||
|
||
@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
|
||
def read_item(item_id: int, q: Optional[str] = None):
|
||
return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}
|
||
|
||
|
||
@app.put("/items/{item_id}")
|
||
def update_item(item_id: int, item: Item):
|
||
return {"item_name": item.name, "item_id": item_id}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The server should reload automatically (because you added `--reload` to the `uvicorn` command above).
|
||
|
||
### Interactive API docs upgrade
|
||
|
||
Now go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs</a>.
|
||
|
||
* The interactive API documentation will be automatically updated, including the new body:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Click on the button "Try it out", it allows you to fill the parameters and directly interact with the API:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Then click on the "Execute" button, the user interface will communicate with your API, send the parameters, get the results and show them on the screen:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Alternative API docs upgrade
|
||
|
||
And now, go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/redoc" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/redoc</a>.
|
||
|
||
* The alternative documentation will also reflect the new query parameter and body:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Recap
|
||
|
||
In summary, you declare **once** the types of parameters, body, etc. as function parameters.
|
||
|
||
You do that with standard modern Python types.
|
||
|
||
You don't have to learn a new syntax, the methods or classes of a specific library, etc.
|
||
|
||
Just standard **Python 3.6+**.
|
||
|
||
For example, for an `int`:
|
||
|
||
```Python
|
||
item_id: int
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
or for a more complex `Item` model:
|
||
|
||
```Python
|
||
item: Item
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
...and with that single declaration you get:
|
||
|
||
* Editor support, including:
|
||
* Completion.
|
||
* Type checks.
|
||
* Validation of data:
|
||
* Automatic and clear errors when the data is invalid.
|
||
* Validation even for deeply nested JSON objects.
|
||
* <abbr title="also known as: serialization, parsing, marshalling">Conversion</abbr> of input data: coming from the network to Python data and types. Reading from:
|

* Query parameters.
|

|

* <abbr title="also known as: serialization, parsing, marshalling">Conversion</abbr> of output data: converting from Python data and types to network data (as JSON):
|
||
* Convert Python types (`str`, `int`, `float`, `bool`, `list`, etc).
|

* `datetime` objects.
|
||
* `UUID` objects.
|
||
* Database models.
|

Coming back to the previous code example, **FastAPI** will:
|
||
|
||
* Validate that there is an `item_id` in the path for `GET` and `PUT` requests.
|
||
* Validate that the `item_id` is of type `int` for `GET` and `PUT` requests.
|
||
* If it is not, the client will see a useful, clear error.
|
||
* Check if there is an optional query parameter named `q` (as in `http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?q=somequery`) for `GET` requests.
|
||
* As the `q` parameter is declared with `= None`, it is optional.
|
||
* Without the `None` it would be required (as is the body in the case with `PUT`).
|
||
* For `PUT` requests to `/items/{item_id}`, Read the body as JSON:
|
||
* Check that it has a required attribute `name` that should be a `str`.
|
||
* Check that it has a required attribute `price` that has to be a `float`.
|
||
* Check that it has an optional attribute `is_offer`, that should be a `bool`, if present.
|
||
* All this would also work for deeply nested JSON objects.
|
||
* Convert from and to JSON automatically.
|
||
* Document everything with OpenAPI, that can be used by:
|
||
* Interactive documentation systems.
|
||
* Automatic client code generation systems, for many languages.
|
||
* Provide 2 interactive documentation web interfaces directly.

We just scratched the surface, but you already get the idea of how it all works.
|
||
|
||
Try changing the line with:
|
||
|
||
```Python
|
||
return {"item_name": item.name, "item_id": item_id}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
...from:
|
||
|
||
```Python
|
||
... "item_name": item.name ...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
...to:
|
||
|
||
```Python
|
||
... "item_price": item.price ...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
...and see how your editor will auto-complete the attributes and know their types:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
**Spoiler alert**: the tutorial - user guide includes:
|
||
|
||
* Declaration of **parameters** from other different places as: **headers**, **cookies**, **form fields** and **files**.
|
||
* How to set **validation constraints** as `maximum_length` or `regex`.
|
||
* A very powerful and easy to use **<abbr title="also known as components, resources, providers, services, injectables">Dependency Injection</abbr>** system.
|
||
* Security and authentication, including support for **OAuth2** with **JWT tokens** and **HTTP Basic** auth.
|
||
* More advanced (but equally easy) techniques for declaring **deeply nested JSON models** (thanks to Pydantic).
|
||
* Many extra features (thanks to Starlette) as:
|
||
* **WebSockets**
|
||
* **GraphQL**
|
||
* extremely easy tests based on `requests` and `pytest`
|
||
* **CORS**
|
||
* **Cookie Sessions**
|
||
* ...and more.
