How To Create Your Very First API With FastAPI In Python Tutorial 2023

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create your very first API using the FastAPI framework in Python. FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints.

To be honest it is the clearest explanation of API I have ever encountered! Thanks!

I'm so happy to see that Python has its own solution for many problems. I'm currently building an app that is using its own API that my friend is writing in C#. Next time i may do the API myself in Python! Keep making those videos, Sir! There are very interesting to watch :D

Very clear and nice tutorial! It would be cool if you did a similar video on the Starlite API framework and perhaps compared the two!

That's what is needed in short and elaborative way. Thanks mate

A video on documentation is a good idea. I have worked with Flask, and the plugins that provide integration with OpenAPI all require major refactors compared to a base Flask project.


On a side note I am interested in how it handles authentication. Normally it would be as trivial as just having a check for JWT or using your favourite SSO provider's package, but since authentication needs to go into the docs, that makes me wonder if FastAPI has anything for that.

In this morning, I had to review the fastapi codes for the first time and the codes looked like black magic. I made a very simple and understandable start with this video.

Great content 👍

Best and most concise video I've found on FastAPI yet! I'm just getting started so thank you! I'm definitely going to watch your related videos and see if you made on on customizing the documentation..

Great tutorial. Can you make a full fledged playlist for FastAPI with real life projects?

[rhard]

Thanks for this quick overview. Could you do an example with a Postgres database?

[coolcodingdad]

Great video! Thank you! I'm building an API for an iOS app and this was great! How easy would it be to deploy to Vercel?

[aryankothari]

you should cover pydantic integration with fastapi. It works really well and is really useful.

very good and fast tutorial thanks, it will be great if start learning Fastapi 😘

[waelitoz]

Amazing. Clean, neat and well explained. Would be nice to see a gradual increase of complexity each of 10 min for other FastAPI videos.

Hi. Your video is very usefull for beginers like i. Thanks a lot.

[loverboykimi]

Quite clear and nice stuff...Just wonder it uses async concept but i dont see any await in the code. I dont know why.

[richardboreiko]

That was a good and quick intro, but please do go into more depth with FastAPI. Thanks!

[francescoanastasio]

Thank you very much, this is all new for me and I nedeed an ice-breaker tutorial just to get an idea of how difficult it could be to set up an API. One question, is it possible to get XML responses instead of JSON? Please don't judge me, I know XML is sh*t but I need it for compatibility reasons.

"Your FastAPI tutorial havs been a game-changer in my learning journey. Thanks for making it so much easier to grasp!" 😀😀😀😁😁😁

[locky]

thanks for the content I really enjoyed it and it was very good explanation for API concept. Thanks and keep working further.

If you could your next js with a Django backend that would be wicked cos it’s exactly what I’m looking for! ❤❤
