Source from the official documentation

Let's get started with FastAPI

1. Firstly we install fastapi.

pip install fastapi

2. We need an ASGI server, for production such as Uvicorn.

pip install uvicorn[standard]

3. Then we create main.py file with the following:

from fastapi import 
FastAPI  app = FastAPI()  
 
@app.get("/") 
def read_root(): 
    return {"Hello": "World"}

4. Run the server with uvicorn.

Now we can navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000 and see the JSON response.

{"message":"Hello World!"}

That’s it!

That is a just start to FastAPI. Let’s talk more about FastAPI in the next articles.
