Building A Simple REST API with FastAPI in Python

[@user-zlcksu4asdv]

Man, exactly what I was looking for. Implemented what I wanted in 5 minutes "while" watching your video! Thanks heaps!

[@AnmolWanderer]

What is your job role ?

[@jacobwilsonmwale1674]

amazing tutorial👏👏. It has helped me understand a lot about fastapi. cheers mate🥂

[@andrewmenshicov2696]

i liked the tutorial but i think some of the code coulda been more thought through, like adding proper guard clauses, doctsrings and less ugly id usage 😅😅

[@gorge9774]

you're reading in my mind🤩

[@apraveena]

Great tutorial, Thank you so much. I feel so confident in REST API now :)

[@Sam-tg4ii]

Thanks for the great explanation. I have one question. Imagine I have the data and the API code on a raspberry pi as a server. How can I give a client access to it over the internet? I mean, I need the client to be able for example to fetch data (get) either using the header method or preferrably the FastAPI's documentation interface that you showed here. Thanks

is that a chrome extension for your json viewing?

[@pedromiranda3148]

I there!!! Great videos and great work. Just dropping suggestion of similar video with Django Rest library

[@buixuanhung8273]

i see your json file has been changed when you do add_person() part. I think you should change the code where you call people, you have to change it to people["people"] .

[@FreakyStyleytobby]

Great tutorial man, im grateful for your work here. Really concise vid.

[@hfrog713]

does anyone know if there is a way to take the ID out of the sample when you "Try It out" since we are not assigning it back. I find it pretty confusing.

[@Hanson-e4m]

I believe that you didn't consider problem with ID after deletion. If you remove something from the middle you will get bad indexes. Anyway thx for this video I find it's really useful.

[@RohitSaini-t4r]

your intro is nice

[@AnshuSharma-g8r]

Great video

[@hfrog713]

Also, for everyone....
Is there not a more efficient way of doing this?
def search_provider(accepting: Optional[int] = Query(None, title="Accepting", description="Is the Doctor accepting new patients?"),
gender: Optional[str] = Query(None, title="Gender", description="Gender of the Doctor")):
accepting_providers = [p for p in providers if accepting.lower() == p['accepting']]
if gender is None:
if accepting is None:
return providers
else:
return accepting_providers
else:
gendered_providers = [p for p in providers if gender.lower() in p['gender']]
if accepting is None:
return gendered_providers
else:
combined_condition = [p for p in accepting_providers if p in gendered_providers]

[@MorrasAI]

Dude this was fantastic ! Great Job.

[@freepythoncode]

Thank you so much 🙂❤

[@pepecopter]

thanks that was great!

[@gx3mz]

How about of make this api asynchronous? Is there any video you could recommend?

[@kobakoba321]

Read about graphene-python or ariadne graphql. Both are asynchronous but they are using GraphQL not REST

[@jairajsahgal5062]

Thank you

[@ambivert_sigma_motivation]

Aw$m :)

[@TheJackal917]

Why Python's so slow?

[@blazefirer]

its an interpreted language not compiled and there is threading but its kinda fake and there is not true concurrency in python

[@rabibasukala7816]

bruh

[@kavitharajni8962]

M

[@disrael2101]

Make it with an actual project please

[@jairajsahgal5062]

You can make this a project by taking a date from the user and returning interesting facts about that date.

[@Krishnaheredd]

Are you from Israel

[@binkuspinkus8400]

First!

[@Nicolas_Rangel]

Fix for add_person():
...
people.append(new_person)
people_write = {"people": people}
with open("people.json", "w") as f:
json.dump(people_write, f)

[@sushmita3537]

just in case anyone's getting a TypeError: Object of type Person is not JSON serializable at add_person(), you need to do this json.dump(dict(people), f)
