Example Code

@app.get("/azure")
def az_cli (args_str):
    temp = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
    args = args_str.split()
    code = get_default_cli().invoke(['login', '--service-principal', '-u', '', '-p', '','--tenant',''])
    resource = get_default_cli().invoke(args)
    data = temp.read().strip()
    temp.close()
    return [args, resource]

Description

sorry for this basic question but I would like some help from you expert as I am still learning fastaapi.

I have a simple testing application running python FastApi and trying to use it with azure cli.

what I am trying to do, is to have a get request using fastapi to list all the resource groups I have in my subscriptions.

The Above code works just fine, I am able to run it as expected, but the output is visible in my terminal only, in /docs all what I receive back is the code 200 and that's it.

I know this question might sound very basic but I really don't know exactly where to look and how to add the terminal output to my response body.

Thank you very much for any help you can provide me with and I am sorry for the basic question

@ElAouaneHamza With you example, it's a bit difficult to understand what the data is that you want to return from the function. I would recommend that you look at building a JSONResponse where you can craft the exact data that you want to return: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/response-directly/#using-the-jsonable_encoder-in-a-response

The alternative is to create a pydantic model object and rather than return a list, you should return a pydantic object. A good example on returning a pydantic object can be found here: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/response-model/
