Secure Serverless APIs with Python FastAPI, Azure AD and Azure Functions

Step by step video on how to create serverless APIs using Azure Functions with Python and Fast API. Secure your API with JWT based authentication and authorization with Azure Active Directory to ensure that only authenticated requests can access your API endpoints.

Nice one!, I like the music and the vibe.

Nice video, I'm not too familiar with Azures services so it was rather insightful

I need to give a thumbs up for the *wink wink*

Great video Christos! I'm wondering if you have the plan to perform the same using Python v2 programming model. I tried to implement by myself but so far I've failed (not able to enable fastapi with microsoft AD in v2)

could you please reveal the VS code theme you are using in this video?

[arashjavanmard]

Great video. Thanks a lot. But I have some problems running the code:
1. azure func-tool uses system python and not the vend-python. For this, I needed to install fastapi and other stuff using system pip.
2. In weather.py-file requires_auth-function needs an "f" parameter. Otherwise, it raises type-error.

I am grateful for any support.

When I hit Generate Token, absolutely nothing is happening. Haha. Dead in the water. No browser window open. Going back to the beginning of the video to see if I messed something up, or maybe something has changed? In any case, this is an awesome video for understanding the pieces of this.

Do you know why ciuld have this error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named "routers". I don't kno wwhy this can happen because I created the directory as you did and the weatehr.py as you wrote it

[patrickmurray]

I have followed the instructions exactly and keep getting "Invalid_header: Unable to parse authentication" for the final API call. Any help on this?

Definitely not for beginners, you have missed multiple steps and basic introductions.
