A practical guide to developing production-ready web APIs rapidly in Python

Learn how to put FastAPI into practice by implementing it in real-world scenarios

Explore FastAPI, its syntax, and configurations for deploying applications

Description

RESTful web services are commonly used to create APIs for web-based applications owing to their light weight and high scalability. This book will show you how FastAPI, a high-performance web framework for building RESTful APIs in Python, allows you to build robust web APIs that are simple and intuitive and makes it easy to build quickly with very little boilerplate code. This book will help you set up a FastAPI application in no time and show you how to use FastAPI to build a REST API that receives and responds to user requests. You’ll go on to learn how to handle routing and authentication while working with databases in a FastAPI application. The book walks you through the four key areas: building and using routes for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations; connecting the application to SQL and NoSQL databases; securing the application built; and deploying your application locally or to a cloud environment. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed a solid understanding of the FastAPI framework and be able to build and deploy robust REST APIs.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Python developers who want to learn FastAPI in a pragmatic way to create robust web APIs with ease. If you are a Django or Flask developer looking to try something new that's faster, more efficient, and produces fewer bugs, this FastAPI Python book is for you. The book assumes intermediate-level knowledge of Python programming.

What you will learn

Set up a FastAPI application that is fully functional and secure

I loved how easy it was to read and how the code is written and explained throughout the book. I can't wait to apply more of it in a practical application and see where it goes from there. Definitively worth checking out.It even goes over git and how to do pip installs. So, there is information here that's useful all the way from new user to an experienced user.

The book is very well-structured. It takes the reader from the basic aspects of building an API like routing, connecting to Databases, authenticating etc. But then it also takes to more advanced topics, like testing, advanced error handling, and container deployment. All in all, it achieves what it sets out to do with great mastery, and then some.

I like the parts where the apps are integrated with databases. Firstly with sqlclient and then with mongodb.At the end, deployment with docker is covered all. Overall, i have gained confidence with fastapi fastly.Appreciate the author.

Packt sent me an advance copy to review.This book is a good resource for learning fastAPI. I think it bears mentioning that this book assumes that the reader already knows Python, understands web development, and is generally looking for a way to develop a fastAPI website. For example, it runs through "routers" without really defining them, brushes over Model-View-Controller concepts assuming that the reader already knows them, and shows GET/POST/UPDATE/DELETE requests without extensive explanation. The author also uses CURL to test new functions vs rendering basic HTML templates. This may be off-putting to less experienced readers.If "understands web development and wants to learn fastAPI specifically" describes you as a reader, then I think this is a good book. It goes over basic Create-Read-Update-Delete server functions, advanced user registration and database applications, native documentation, SQL and noSQL databases, and more. The author shows good examples that make sense, since I often find that resources use highly specific examples that don't help a broader reader understand. Crucially, the book also covers deploying and testing, two areas that aren't usually discussed when learning a web framework.I did find a few Python anti-patterns in some places (like using *for i in range(len(some_list))* when *enumerate()* would do the same thing), but they did not detract from the book.
