Documentation Failed to fetch /openapi.json

[NastasiaSaby]

When I click https://host/suburl/documentation

I have a "Failed to load definition".

In the console, I have

Error downloading https://host/openapi.json Failed to fetch

My code looks like that:

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI(openapi_url="/openapi.json", docs_url="/documentation")

@app.get("/status")
def return_simple():
    return "ok"
I can't find an anwser for this problem. Do you have any idea?

I found a solution. I launched fastapi with a "root-path" like this:

uvicorn fast_api.server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --root-path="/suburl"

Thanks for reporting back and closing the issue 👍

I found a solution. I launched fastapi with a "root-path" like this:

uvicorn fast_api.server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --root-path="/suburl"

fyi: it is also possible to pass the root_path as a parameter while creating a FastAPI instance (as described here):

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request

app = FastAPI(root_path="/api/v1")


@app.get("/app")
def read_main(request: Request):
    return {"message": "Hello World", "root_path": request.scope.get("root_path")}

Thank you, Sir Benedick! My career as a student has taken me away from Fast API for the moment, but should I return (and I'm intrigued by the whole process) I'll refer back to this. Have a great day. Josh
