FastAPI Testing Server

This repository contains a FastAPI-based testing server for API development and testing.

Overview

FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. It's designed to be easy to use and learn while being powerful enough for production use.

Features

Fast: Very high performance, on par with NodeJS and Go
Intuitive: Great editor support with auto-completion
Easy: Designed to be easy to use and learn
Short: Minimize code duplication
Robust: Get production-ready code with automatic interactive documentation
Standards-based: Based on (and fully compatible with) the open standards for APIs: OpenAPI and JSON Schema

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Python 3.7+
pip (Python package installer)

Installation

# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install FastAPI and Uvicorn (ASGI server)
pip install fastapi uvicorn

# Optional dependencies
pip install python-multipart  # For form data
pip install pydantic[email]   # For email validation

Basic Example

Create a file main.py with the following content:

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/")
def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"}

@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def read_item(item_id: int, q: str = None):
    return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}

Running the Server

uvicorn main:app --reload

The server will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000

API Documentation

FastAPI automatically generates interactive API documentation:

Swagger UI: http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs
ReDoc: http://127.0.0.1:8000/redoc
