Key benefits

  • 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
  • Understand how to handle errors from requests and send proper responses in FastAPI
  • Integrate and connect your application to a SQL and NoSQL (MongoDB) database
  • Perform CRUD operations using SQL and FastAPI
  • Manage concurrency in FastAPI applications
  • Implement authentication in a FastAPI application
  • Deploy a FastAPI application to any platform

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.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
