FastAPI testing | Pytest and TestClient demonstration

A demonstration of the FastAPI testing examples and some tips on what aspects of Pytest to look at if you are new to Pytest, and a good book to check out. *Note x-auth-token just happens to feature in the example being tested, it is NOT required in any way to use TestClient with Pytest.

Proxies
=================================================
If you need a good, easy to use proxy, I was recommended this one, and having used ScraperAPI for a while I can vouch for them. If you were going to sign up anyway, then maybe you would be kind enough to use the link and the coupon code below?

You can also do a full working trial first as well, (unlike some other companies). The trial doesn't ask for any payment details either so all good! 👍

Small correction, FastAPI is an ASGI framework, everything will be handled asynchronously behind the scenes regardless of how you define your CRUD method functions.
