FastAPI is a framework in Python used to build APIs
API stands for Application Programming Interface
- A software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other.
Install packages:
pip install "fastapi[all]"
To run the server:
uvicorn main:app --reload
uvicorn is a server that hosts our FastAPI appliction.
main:app is the command to call our application, main is the file name and app is the instance of FastAPI defined.
The --reload option automatically reloads the server when there are code changes, similar to app.run(debug=True) in Dash

| Collapsed Playlists | Expanded View |

Then, when we want to fiiter the tracks to only those in the Guilt playlist:
I also built in the capability to add to the data.
