This is a simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) API built using FastAPI and SQLite3 for the database. FastAPI is a modern, high-performance web framework for building APIs with Python, and SQLite3 is a lightweight relational database.
- FastAPI Framework: High-performance, easy to use, and compatible with both Python 3.6+ and type hints.
- CRUD Operations: Allows you to perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations on the data stored in SQLite3.
- SQLite3: A simple, file-based database, no separate server required.
To run this project, you need the following tools installed on your machine:
- Python 3.6+
- FastAPI: Can be installed via pip
- Uvicorn: ASGI server to serve your FastAPI application
You can install the required packages by running:
pip install fastapi uvicorn sqlite3- Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone git@github.com:MondoukpeStella/FASTAPI-APP.git
cd FASTAPI-APP- Create an virtual environment:
python -m venv env_name
source env_name/bin/activate #To activate virtual environment- Install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt- Running the Application
To run the FastAPI application, you need to use the Uvicorn server:
uvicorn app:app --reload
Once the server is running, you can access the API documentation via Swagger at: http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs
