Python REST APIs with FastAPI Course

Python REST APIs with FastAPI from RealPython provides an overview of building your own REST API using the FastAPI framework in Python. FastAPI enables the developer to write simple Python functions which are run using the arguments specified by a user’s API call. Decorators are used to specify the routes to the API calls. FastAPI comes with a built-in live documentation function that the developer can use to test their endpoints as well.

I appreciated this course’s concise intro to FastAPI. I have worked with APIs in Flask previously, and I found FastAPI to be similar but much easier to get started with. I already have some ideas on how I can integrate custom API endpoints into my personal infrastructure, and I’m excited to use FastAPI in some of my side projects in the future.
