Learn FastAPI with a practical overview and setup. Then master path and query parameters, request bodies, Pydantic models, database connections, CRUD, relations, API router, and OAuth with JWT authentication.
Learn how an API, an application programming interface, enables programs to exchange data via a standard interface. Discover RESTful design, HTTP methods like GET and POST, and JSON responses.
Open the FAPI project in VS Code, create and activate a virtual environment named env, then install fast API with pip, ensuring Python 3.6 or above.
Learn how path parameters in FastAPI convert static routes into dynamic endpoints like /property/1, returning a JSON response. Enforce integer path parameters to prevent string values.
Master route ordering is crucial in FastAPI to ensure specific routes, like admin, trigger over generic user routes. Place more specific routes before broader ones to avoid path parameter clashes.
Create a FastAPI route that uses a path parameter and a query parameter to display a user's profile and comment, returning a json with user id and comment id.
Define a profile data model with a Pydantic base model and use it as the request body in a FastAPI POST endpoint. Return the submitted name, email, and age.
Learn to pass path parameters, query parameters, and a request body in a FastAPI route, returning the product and its id, with category examples.
Learn to nest Python data types in a model by adding a tags field as a string list, then switch to a set to enforce uniqueness.
Learn how to nest pydantic models by embedding an image model inside a product model, using HTTP URL, and validating lists of images for complex attributes.
Learn to build deeply nested Pydantic models, with offers containing products and products containing images, in a FastAPI app.
Learn to use uuid, date, date time, time, and time delta in a dummy event model, showing how to capture start date, end time, and other time sensitive fields.
Learn how to connect a FastAPI API to a database, and compare relational and non-relational databases. Use SQLAlchemy as an ORM to map tables to classes and avoid writing SQL.
Learn how to set up a FastAPI database connection with SQLAlchemy by configuring an engine, declarative base, and session maker for a SQLite database (product.db) in a separate database.py.
Define a product model with id, name, description, and price using SQLAlchemy’s declarative base and set the table name to products.
Use the SQLiteViewer extension in VS Code to view product.db, inspect the products table with id, name, description, price, and learn how API submissions get stored.
Learn to create a FastAPI delete route to remove a product by ID, using app.delete, a path parameter, and a database session to filter, delete, and commit.
Define a pydantic response model to tailor API outputs with show product, select fields such as name and price, and use list[schemas.showProduct] for product lists.
Define a display seller response model in fastapi to hide passwords, exposing only username and email on seller creation by applying the schema to the route.
Establish a one-to-many relationship between seller and product models by using a seller_id foreign key, and configure SQLAlchemy relationship with back_populates to access related objects.
Add metadata to the FastAPI documentation by configuring the app with title, description, version, terms of service, contact, and license, and organize routes with OpenAPI tags and a docs link.
Define tags and a common prefix on the api router to group product and seller routes, removing per-route tags and confirming with get all products and get by id.
Learn how to implement authentication in a FastAPI API using JWT tokens, create a login route with username and password, issue a time-limited JWT, and protect routes.
Create a JWT token utility in FastAPI by installing python-jose and cryptography, generating a secret key, setting an expiration, defining token models, and encoding the token with jose.
Protect routes in your FastAPI API by requiring authentication for the all products route using a current user dependency. Implement OAuth2 password request form and JWT tokens to secure access.
Finish the course and start building your own fast api projects with Python; practice 15 to 20 minutes daily and develop useful APIs, like stock market, file access, or image APIs.

Here Is A Brief Introduction About This Complete Course:
FastAPI is one of the most modern, fast and efficient framework for building APIs.
If you want to learn how to built high performance APIs then FastAPI should be your go to framework.
In this course we will learn FastAPI right from scratch and by then end of the course you will be able to build a complete API which supports authentication, JWT tokens, relational models and protected API routes.
This course is designed in a way that even a complete beginner can get started building APIs without even knowing what an API is.
We start off with the basics such as understanding what an API is and what purpose it serves.
We will then learn the different approaches/ frameworks to build APIs with Python and how they compare with FastAPI.
The entire course is divided into 8 sections as follows:
Section 1: Introduction & Installation.
This section covers what an API is and the purpose and API serves. We also jump into learning about the FastAPI framework and how it helps create high performance APIs in no time. We will also learn how to setup and install FastAPI framework in a virtual environment and will create our first and the most basic API.
Section 2: Path & Query Parameters
APIs accept queries in form of URL requests. In this section we learn what are path and query parameters and how they can be used for form a request body to make API calls. We learn how to program APIs in a way such that they respond as per the data sent to it from path and query parameters. We also learn how to use both the parameters simultaneously in a single API route.
Section 3: Models & Request Body.
While working with APIs we need a way to model data, be it request or response data. With FastAPI, we can use Pydantic models which allow us to create data models that can be used to define the structure of data. We learn how to create Pydantic models and use them inside API routes
Section 4: Connecting to the database.
In this section we learn how to establish a connection with the database. We will be using the SQLAlchemy library as on object relational mapper which maps tables into classes and table rows into objects, that way database data can be manipulated without having to write any SQL queries. We learn how to create SQLAlchemy models and later convert them into database tables at the backend. We use a tool called table plus to visualize database data.
Section 5: Performing CRUD operations.
Once the database connection is established, we then learn how to perform operations like create, read, update and delete on the database data. We create separate routes for each of these operations and also learn how to raise exceptions with HTTP error codes whenever the API receives an invalid request.
Section 6: Creating Multiple Models & Establishing Relationship.
After performing the database operations on a single model, we then learn how to create multiple models and establish a connection between them using a foreign key. We also learn how to securely store hashed passwords in a database using a library called Bcrypt. Along with it we also learn how to add metadata to our API and modify contents on the documentation page.
Section 7: Using API Router.
Writing modular code is always preferable when it comes to any software and same is the case with APIs as well. Using API routes, we can split different routes into multiple files so that the code becomes modular and maintainable. We learn how to use routers and split the main API code into separate modules using an API router.
Section 8: Authentication.
This section covers how to validate user credentials via an API route. Once the credentials are found to be valid, we then generate a JWT token for every logged in user. JWT tokens help us prevent access to API routes from unauthorized users. We learn how to create an assign JWT tokens to users so they can securely access API routes.
