Why You NEED To Learn FastAPI | Hands On Project
FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. It is simple to learn and easy to use, making it a must-have skill for any developer looking to build high-performance APIs.
Why Learn FastAPI?
1. Speed and Performance: FastAPI is built for performance and is one of the fastest web frameworks available. It is a great choice for building high-performance, asynchronous APIs.
2. Easy to Use: FastAPI uses standard Python type hints, making it easy for Python developers to get started. The intuitive syntax and clear documentation make it a breeze to learn.
3. Support for Asynchronous Programming: FastAPI fully supports asynchronous programming, allowing you to build asynchronous, non-blocking APIs with ease.
4. Automatic Documentation: FastAPI provides automatic interactive API documentation (provided by Swagger UI) which makes it easy to understand and test your APIs.
Hands-On Project
One of the best ways to learn FastAPI is by building your own project. Whether it’s a simple REST API for a small application or a more complex API for a larger project, hands-on experience is invaluable. By building a project with FastAPI, you will gain a deeper understanding of its capabilities and learn how to apply its features to real-world scenarios.
Getting Started
If you’re ready to dive into FastAPI, there are plenty of resources available to help you get started. The official FastAPI documentation is a great place to begin, offering detailed guides and tutorials to help you master the framework. Additionally, there are many online courses and tutorials that can guide you through the process of learning FastAPI and building your own projects.
Conclusion
FastAPI is a powerful, modern web framework that offers a range of benefits for developers. Its speed, performance, ease of use, and support for asynchronous programming make it a valuable skill for anyone working with Python. By learning FastAPI and building a hands-on project, you can gain the skills and experience needed to excel in API development.
Amazing ! This video got me started very FAST, thank you very much!
Bottle is good too?
Caught me a bit off guard that you kept calling it FastTrack and then got the count off, but forget that this video was great!!! Thanks Travis.
hey loki
Great tutorial, nice way to spend my Sunday morning!
00:03 Creating an API first allows for easy integration and maintenance of multiple applications.
02:30 Fast API is a better alternative than Flask as an API.
05:20 FastAPI provides built-in async support and is more efficient than Flask
07:57 Create and validate a to-do item for the API
10:44 Fast API provides typed APIs, allowing for easy declaration of types in Python.
13:29 Implementing CRUD Operations
16:14 Updating to-do items
18:46 Fast API provides a built-in Swagger UI for easy API documentation and testing.

I'm asking about fastapi being typed (I am talking about developer experience). As I have worked with c#. The typed characteristic is what I admire the most about it. Python being a dynamic language, how can fastapi be typed while running on python?
Is it compile time typed or is it run time typed too?
Thats alot todo in one day 😉
FYI whomever is reading:
There's a Postman extension in VScode
is it feasible for ML apps?
My favourite part was when you told us what API stands for.
"OH, what doesnt it stand for…"
Kidding of course, great video. Im an experienced dev getting deeper into how to leverage python for more scalable apps so FastAPI is quickly beomcing ny weapon of choice, and this video really helped. Thanks
Which version of python should be used for fastapi?
How do i host it remotely
Thank you. I enjoyed this.
11:25 If you're dumb or blind like me, make sure the menu item next to GraphQL is set to "JSON". Mine was defaulted to text, it took me forever to figure out why mine wasn't working.
a very clear video with good example(s) of why one might use FastAPI…
Great, to the point, tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you for your efforts! Respect
Hi. I want to build a web application. I know coding in python and javascript. But that's all. I don't know anything about web applications, HTML, CSS, frontend, backend, routing, HTTP, databases, servers, protocols etc. So, how can I learn about these things and how do I build a web application? Could you please recommend a book explaining all these things for a complete beginner? Thanks.
travis you got a lil twang in your voice lol. You grew up in the south lmao?
