5 min readIn FastAPI, static routes can be authenticated by using dependency injection with the Depends function. By defining a dependency function that checks for authentication within the route, you can ensure that only authenticated users have access to specific endpoints. This could involve verifying a user's credentials, checking for a token in the request headers, or any other method of authentication.

5 min readTo use a refresh token with Keycloak and FastAPI, you first need to obtain a valid access token by authenticating with Keycloak. Once you have the access token, you can use it to make requests to protected resources in your FastAPI application.When the access token expires, you can use the refresh token to obtain a new access token without having to re-authenticate with Keycloak.

4 min readTo enable filtering on all fields of a model in FastAPI, you can use the Query parameter from the FastAPI library. By defining query parameters with types and default values for each field in your model, you can enable filtering on all fields. These query parameters can then be used in your endpoint functions to filter the results based on the user's input. Additionally, you can use the filtering parameter to specify which fields can be filtered and add logic to handle the filtering process.
-
5 min readIn FastAPI, you can update request parameters by modifying the data in the request object or by creating a new request object with updated parameters. To modify the data in the request object, you can access the parameters using the request object's attributes and update them as needed.
-
4 min readTo create a complex schema in FastAPI, you can use Pydantic models to define the structure of your data. Pydantic allows you to create complex nested schemas with support for data validation and serialization.To create a complex schema, start by defining a Pydantic model that represents the structure of your data. You can define nested fields, lists, and dictionaries within the model to represent complex data structures.

10 min readTo deploy a scalable API using FastAPI, you can follow these steps:Create your API using FastAPI by defining your routes, endpoints, and data models. Make sure to use asynchronous functions whenever possible to take advantage of FastAPI's performance benefits. Once your API is ready, you can deploy it using a hosting service such as Heroku, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform. Use Docker containers to containerize your API, making it easier to deploy and scale.
-
4 min readTo add custom validation in FastAPI, you can create a custom Field class that inherits from the Depends class provided by FastAPI. Inside this custom Field class, you can define your custom validation logic by overriding the __call__ method.Within the __call__ method, you can perform any validation checks you need and raise a HTTPException with an appropriate status code and error message if the data does not pass the validation.
-
7 min readIn FastAPI, you can set up and tear down a database between tests by leveraging fixtures in a testing framework like pytest.To set up a database connection for testing, you can create a fixture function that establishes a connection to the database and returns it to the test functions that need it. This fixture function can be scoped to the module or to a specific test session, depending on your testing requirements.
-
4 min readTo download a file using FastAPI, you can create an endpoint that returns a FileResponse object from the Starlette library. First, you need to import the necessary modules: from fastapi import FastAPI from starlette.responses import FileResponse Then, create a FastAPI app instance: app = FastAPI() Next, define a route that returns a file: @app.get("/download-file") async def download_file(): file_path = "path/to/your/file.

5 min readWhen using FastAPI with Sentry for error monitoring, you can handle errors by setting up custom error handlers. We can create custom error handlers by defining an exception handler decorator in the FastAPI application. Inside the exception handler, we can log the error message to Sentry using the capture_exception method provided by the Sentry SDK. This way, any uncaught exceptions in our FastAPI application will be sent to Sentry for tracking and monitoring.
-
3 min readIn FastAPI, you can define route paths by using the @app.get, @app.post, @app.put, @app.delete, or @app.patch decorators. These decorators allow you to define the HTTP method used to interact with that particular route path. You can also define route parameters by using curly braces {} in the route path. These parameters will be automatically passed to the corresponding function as arguments. Additionally, you can use the Request parameter to access the request data and query parameters.
