Fastapi Skill

Comprehensive assistance with fastapi development, generated from official documentation.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be triggered when:

• Working with fastapi
• Asking about fastapi features or APIs
• Implementing fastapi solutions
• Debugging fastapi code
• Learning fastapi best practices

Quick Reference

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Then you can write a template at templates/item.html with, for example:

templates/item.html

Pattern 2: The docs UI would also need the OpenAPI schema to declare that this API server is located at /api/v1 (behind the proxy). For example:

server

Pattern 3: Info To use TestClient, first install httpx. Make sure you create a virtual environment, activate it, and then install it, for example: $ pip install httpx

TestClient

Pattern 4: Make sure you create a virtual environment, activate it, and then install it, for example:

$ pip install httpx

Pattern 5: Make sure you create a virtual environment, activate it, and then install it, for example:

$ pip install pytest

Pattern 6: fastapi.FastAPI ¶ FastAPI( *, debug=False, routes=None, title="FastAPI", summary=None, description="", version="0.1.0", openapi_url="/openapi.json", openapi_tags=None, servers=None, dependencies=None, default_response_class=Default(JSONResponse), redirect_slashes=True, docs_url="/docs", redoc_url="/redoc", swagger_ui_oauth2_redirect_url="/docs/oauth2-redirect", swagger_ui_init_oauth=None, middleware=None, exception_handlers=None, on_startup=None, on_shutdown=None, lifespan=None, terms_of_service=None, contact=None, license_info=None, openapi_prefix="", root_path="", root_path_in_servers=True, responses=None, callbacks=None, webhooks=None, deprecated=None, include_in_schema=True, swagger_ui_parameters=None, generate_unique_id_function=Default(generate_unique_id), separate_input_output_schemas=True, openapi_external_docs=None, **extra ) Bases: Starlette FastAPI app class, the main entrypoint to use FastAPI. Read more in the FastAPI docs for First Steps. Example¶ from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI() PARAMETER DESCRIPTION debug Boolean indicating if debug tracebacks should be returned on server errors. Read more in the Starlette docs for Applications. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False routes Note: you probably shouldn't use this parameter, it is inherited from Starlette and supported for compatibility. A list of routes to serve incoming HTTP and WebSocket requests. TYPE: Optional[list[BaseRoute]] DEFAULT: None title The title of the API. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more in the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI(title="ChimichangApp") TYPE: str DEFAULT: 'FastAPI' summary A short summary of the API. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more in the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI(summary="Deadpond's favorite app. Nuff said.") TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None description A description of the API. Supports Markdown (using CommonMark syntax). It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more in the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI( description=""" ChimichangApp API helps you do awesome stuff. 🚀 ## Items You can read items. ## Users You will be able to: * Create users (not implemented). * Read users (not implemented). """ ) TYPE: str DEFAULT: '' version The version of the API. Note This is the version of your application, not the version of the OpenAPI specification nor the version of FastAPI being used. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more in the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI(version="0.0.1") TYPE: str DEFAULT: '0.1.0' openapi_url The URL where the OpenAPI schema will be served from. If you set it to None, no OpenAPI schema will be served publicly, and the default automatic endpoints /docs and /redoc will also be disabled. Read more in the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI(openapi_url="/api/v1/openapi.json") TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: '/openapi.json' openapi_tags A list of tags used by OpenAPI, these are the same tags you can set in the path operations, like: @app.get("/users/", tags=["users"]) @app.get("/items/", tags=["items"]) The order of the tags can be used to specify the order shown in tools like Swagger UI, used in the automatic path /docs. It's not required to specify all the tags used. The tags that are not declared MAY be organized randomly or based on the tools' logic. Each tag name in the list MUST be unique. The value of each item is a dict containing: name: The name of the tag. description: A short description of the tag. CommonMark syntax MAY be used for rich text representation. externalDocs: Additional external documentation for this tag. If provided, it would contain a dict with: description: A short description of the target documentation. CommonMark syntax MAY be used for rich text representation. url: The URL for the target documentation. Value MUST be in the form of a URL. Read more in the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example from fastapi import FastAPI tags_metadata = [ { "name": "users", "description": "Operations with users. The login logic is also here.", }, { "name": "items", "description": "Manage items. So fancy they have their own docs.", "externalDocs": { "description": "Items external docs", "url": "https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/", }, }, ] app = FastAPI(openapi_tags=tags_metadata) TYPE: Optional[list[dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None servers A list of dicts with connectivity information to a target server. You would use it, for example, if your application is served from different domains and you want to use the same Swagger UI in the browser to interact with each of them (instead of having multiple browser tabs open). Or if you want to leave fixed the possible URLs. If the servers list is not provided, or is an empty list, the servers property in the generated OpenAPI will be: a dict with a url value of the application's mounting point (root_path) if it's different from /. otherwise, the servers property will be omitted from the OpenAPI schema. Each item in the list is a dict containing: url: A URL to the target host. This URL supports Server Variables and MAY be relative, to indicate that the host location is relative to the location where the OpenAPI document is being served. Variable substitutions will be made when a variable is named in {brackets}. description: An optional string describing the host designated by the URL. CommonMark syntax MAY be used for rich text representation. variables: A dict between a variable name and its value. The value is used for substitution in the server's URL template.

Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI( servers=[ {"url": "https://stag.example.com", "description": "Staging environment"}, {"url": "https://prod.example.com", "description": "Production environment"}, ] ) TYPE: Optional[list[dict[str, Union[str, Any]]]] DEFAULT: None dependencies A list of global dependencies, they will be applied to each path operation, including in sub-routers. Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Global Dependencies. Example from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI from .dependencies import func_dep_1, func_dep_2 app = FastAPI(dependencies=[Depends(func_dep_1), Depends(func_dep_2)]) TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Depends]] DEFAULT: None default_response_class The default response class to be used. Read more in the FastAPI docs for Custom Response - HTML, Stream, File, others. Example from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi.responses import ORJSONResponse app = FastAPI(default_response_class=ORJSONResponse) TYPE: type[Response] DEFAULT: Default(JSONResponse) redirect_slashes Whether to detect and redirect slashes in URLs when the client doesn't use the same format. Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI(redirect_slashes=True) # the default @app.get("/items/") async def read_items(): return [{"item_id": "Foo"}] With this app, if a client goes to /items (without a trailing slash), they will be automatically redirected with an HTTP status code of 307 to /items/. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True docs_url The path to the automatic interactive API documentation. It is handled in the browser by Swagger UI. The default URL is /docs. You can disable it by setting it to None. If openapi_url is set to None, this will be automatically disabled. Read more in the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI(docs_url="/documentation", redoc_url=None) TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: '/docs' redoc_url The path to the alternative automatic interactive API documentation provided by ReDoc. The default URL is /redoc. You can disable it by setting it to None. If openapi_url is set to None, this will be automatically disabled. Read more in the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI(docs_url="/documentation", redoc_url="redocumentation") TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: '/redoc' swagger_ui_oauth2_redirect_url The OAuth2 redirect endpoint for the Swagger UI.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: '/docs/oauth2-redirect' swagger_ui_init_oauth OAuth2 configuration for the Swagger UI, by default shown at /docs. Read more about the available configuration options in the Swagger UI docs. TYPE: Optional[dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None middleware List of middleware to be added when creating the application. In FastAPI you would normally do this with app.add_middleware() instead. Read more in the FastAPI docs for Middleware. TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Middleware]] DEFAULT: None exception_handlers A dictionary with handlers for exceptions. In FastAPI, you would normally use the decorator @app.exception_handler(). Read more in the FastAPI docs for Handling Errors. TYPE: Optional[dict[Union[int, type[Exception]], Callable[[Request, Any], Coroutine[Any, Any, Response]]]] DEFAULT: None on_startup A list of startup event handler functions. You should instead use the lifespan handlers. Read more in the FastAPI docs for lifespan. TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Callable[[], Any]]] DEFAULT: None on_shutdown A list of shutdown event handler functions. You should instead use the lifespan handlers. Read more in the FastAPI docs for lifespan. TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Callable[[], Any]]] DEFAULT: None lifespan A Lifespan context manager handler. This replaces startup and shutdown functions with a single context manager. Read more in the FastAPI docs for lifespan. TYPE: Optional[Lifespan[AppType]] DEFAULT: None terms_of_service A URL to the Terms of Service for your API. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more at the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example app = FastAPI(terms_of_service="http://example.com/terms/") TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None contact A dictionary with the contact information for the exposed API. It can contain several fields. name: (str) The name of the contact person/organization. url: (str) A URL pointing to the contact information. MUST be in the format of a URL. email: (str) The email address of the contact person/organization. MUST be in the format of an email address. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more at the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example app = FastAPI( contact={ "name": "Deadpoolio the Amazing", "url": "http://x-force.example.com/contact/", "email": "[e-mail]", } ) TYPE: Optional[dict[str, Union[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None license_info A dictionary with the license information for the exposed API. It can contain several fields. name: (str) REQUIRED (if a license_info is set). The license name used for the API. identifier: (str) An SPDX license expression for the API. The identifier field is mutually exclusive of the url field. Available since OpenAPI 3.1.0, FastAPI 0.99.0. url: (str) A URL to the license used for the API. This MUST be the format of a URL. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more at the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs. Example app = FastAPI( license_info={ "name": "Apache 2.0", "url": "https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html", } ) TYPE: Optional[dict[str, Union[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None openapi_prefix A URL prefix for the OpenAPI URL. TYPE: str DEFAULT: '' root_path A path prefix handled by a proxy that is not seen by the application but is seen by external clients, which affects things like Swagger UI. Read more about it at the FastAPI docs for Behind a Proxy. Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI(root_path="/api/v1") TYPE: str DEFAULT: '' root_path_in_servers To disable automatically generating the URLs in the servers field in the autogenerated OpenAPI using the root_path. Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Behind a Proxy. Example from fastapi import FastAPI app = FastAPI(root_path_in_servers=False) TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True responses Additional responses to be shown in OpenAPI. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Additional Responses in OpenAPI. And in the FastAPI docs for Bigger Applications. TYPE: Optional[dict[Union[int, str], dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None callbacks OpenAPI callbacks that should apply to all path operations. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Callbacks. TYPE: Optional[list[BaseRoute]] DEFAULT: None webhooks Add OpenAPI webhooks. This is similar to callbacks but it doesn't depend on specific path operations. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Note: This is available since OpenAPI 3.1.0, FastAPI 0.99.0. Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Webhooks. TYPE: Optional[APIRouter] DEFAULT: None deprecated Mark all path operations as deprecated. You probably don't need it, but it's available. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration. TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None include_in_schema To include (or not) all the path operations in the generated OpenAPI. You probably don't need it, but it's available. This affects the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs). Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Query Parameters and String Validations. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True swagger_ui_parameters Parameters to configure Swagger UI, the autogenerated interactive API documentation (by default at /docs). Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Configure Swagger UI. TYPE: Optional[dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None generate_unique_id_function Customize the function used to generate unique IDs for the path operations shown in the generated OpenAPI. This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients or SDKs for your API. Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients. TYPE: Callable[[APIRoute], str] DEFAULT: Default(generate_unique_id) separate_input_output_schemas Whether to generate separate OpenAPI schemas for request body and response body when the results would be more precise. This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients. For example, if you have a model like: from pydantic import BaseModel class Item(BaseModel): name: str tags: list[str] = [] When Item is used for input, a request body, tags is not required, the client doesn't have to provide it. But when using Item for output, for a response body, tags is always available because it has a default value, even if it's just an empty list. So, the client should be able to always expect it. In this case, there would be two different schemas, one for input and another one for output. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True openapi_external_docs This field allows you to provide additional external documentation links. If provided, it must be a dictionary containing: description: A brief description of the external documentation. url: The URL pointing to the external documentation. The value MUST be a valid URL format. Example: from fastapi import FastAPI external_docs = { "description": "Detailed API Reference", "url": "https://example.com/api-docs", } app = FastAPI(openapi_external_docs=external_docs) TYPE: Optional[dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None **extra Extra keyword arguments to be stored in the app, not used by FastAPI anywhere.

Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the response_model would be used to serialize that object into the corresponding JSON. Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data (fields) defined in the response_model. If you returned an object that contains an attribute password but the response_model does not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have that password. Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the response_model, converting any data as necessary to generate the corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client, so it's an error from the API developer.
