How To Create a Python API With FastAPI - Full Tutorial

In today's video I'm going to be showing you guys how you can create your own API using Python for web applications. API (application programming interface) essentially allows one piece of software to request data from another and receive a response.

Thanks tim, i was having trouble with with this API thing, turned out much simpler than what i expected

I've had a really funny day at work. We have a K8S cluster set up and implemented a very basic CRUD structure using fastapi which creates or deletes argo workflows. The upper heads seem to love this idea, but one guy accidently ran a pipeline that generates thousands of workflows which brought down the entire cluster. You can also write a simple perl script to send an infinite amount of requests to burn down EVERY node and its cores in no time.

Hi @Tim,
Very much appreciated for putting such Project based videos on Python. A earnest Request can you post Python Automation for DevOps Automation with Microservice Dev. It's very rare in YouTube to see such videos . Usage of adv 3rd party modules, Virtual Env for Task Automation 🎉🎉

That's really like Flask + RestX, but much more simpler, great tutorial

[softwareengineer]

Awesome tutorial, always a pleasure to enhance coding skills by watching your videos.

[RishavKundu]

great video.

just to note,
imo you never want to set a root pass for your deployment. always always setup keys initially!!
it'll save you the trouble down the line :)

Hi Tim this was an amazing video, is it possible to have some go-lang videos in the future ? you have a talent for teaching and i would love to learn more about go from you

[Sarvesh_Ganesan]

Hey Tim. Nice video! Is it possible for you to make a video on how to build agent frameworks from scratch using python?

[matiasbarrera]

Hi! Nice video!! Where do you recommend deploying a fastapi serverless? I tried vercel but its not very python friendly yet apparently. Thanks!! 😄

[IOSARBX]

Tech With Tim, Subscribed because your videos are always awesome!

[Dr.FlyDog]

very clear demonstration, could you make one with authentication?

[BorisHrzenjak]

Hostinger is on the move :) I see them sponsoring almost all tech youtubers that I watch these days :D

I finished the API, but instead of using an in-memory implementation, If you used any database. It's even a good project.

[ayushshende]

what db solution do you suggest using with fastapi, the docs have sqlAlchemy but they are suggesting to move to sqlmodel, if you can, please make a video integrating db as well.

[disispeter]

hey Tim just checking in for issues im having on my end as a new programmer learning python...I had fastapi imported and unicorn imported awhile ago following one of ur old videos, but apparently I was having trouble in the editor claiming module could not be found... so I spend 3 days learning how to properly setup a folder to organize files and learned how to setup venv and how to properly activate it just for ip link not to work in my browser...I haven't gotten past the 8:08 mark yet..I get it im a beginner and dont know how to setup everything up from scratch but im still trying

[basomiddin]

Of course nice tutorial. However everyone would like to get information about templating like flask. Tim, I know you can make that kind of tutorials as well for your subscribers)))

[adarmawan]

Hi, Tim
Can you please make a video how to up this project online, ?

Thankss

[oblivion]

Is this an alternative to restful api? What ive
