README

This is a personal template for a simple FastAPI application. I wrote it to help consolidate and demonstrate concepts I learned while reading about the library. The template uses API keys to secure its endpoints, via FastAPI's Depends() function, and stores user information using a SQLite database. The SQLModel library is used as the API's ORM.

Starting the API

# from the root of the repository
uvicorn app.main:app --reload

The API should start at localhost:8000, and be available for requests. The API's docs will be available at localhost:8000/docs.

An example request against the API's /users endpoint:

http get :8000/users x-api-key:af5as3sdl6j87slkaaj2j

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
