FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.8+ 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>. |

|
|
|
**Typer** is FastAPI's little sibling. And it's intended to be the **FastAPI of CLIs**. ⌨️ 🚀 |
|
|
|
## Requirements |
|
|
|
Python 3.8+ |
|
|
|
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://github.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 Union |
|
|
|
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: Union[str, None] = 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 Union |
|
|
|
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: Union[str, None] = 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> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 |

|
## 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 Union |
|
|
|
from fastapi import FastAPI |
|
from pydantic import BaseModel |
|
|
|
app = FastAPI() |
|
|
|
|
|
class Item(BaseModel): |
|
name: str |
|
price: float |
|
is_offer: Union[bool, None] = None |
|
|
|
|
|
@app.get("/") |
|
def read_root(): |
|
return {"Hello": "World"} |
|
|
|
|
|
@app.get("/items/{item_id}") |
|
def read_item(item_id: int, q: Union[str, None] = 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 3.8+**. |
|
|
|
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: |
|
* JSON. |
|
* Path parameters. |
|
* Query parameters. |
|
* Cookies. |
|
* Headers. |
|
* Forms. |
|
* Files. |
|
* <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. |
|
* ...and many more. |
|
* Automatic interactive API documentation, including 2 alternative user interfaces: |
|
* Swagger UI. |
|
* ReDoc. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
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). |
|
* **GraphQL** integration with <a href="https://strawberry.rocks" class="external-link" target="_blank">Strawberry</a> and other libraries. |
|
* Many extra features (thanks to Starlette) as: |
|
* **WebSockets** |
|
* extremely easy tests based on HTTPX and `pytest` |
|
* **CORS** |
|
* **Cookie Sessions** |
|
* ...and more. |

## Performance |
|
|
|
Independent TechEmpower benchmarks show **FastAPI** applications running under Uvicorn as <a href="https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=test&runid=7464e520-0dc2-473d-bd34-dbdfd7e85911&hw=ph&test=query&l=zijzen-7" class="external-link" target="_blank">one of the fastest Python frameworks available</a>, only below Starlette and Uvicorn themselves (used internally by FastAPI).
