Instructions and Navigations

All of the code is organized into folders.

The code will look like the following:

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/users/{type}/{id}")
async def get_user(type: str, id: int):
    return {"type": type, "id": id}

Following is what you need for this book: This book is for data scientists and software developers interested in gaining knowledge of FastAPI and its ecosystem to build data science applications. Basic knowledge of data science and machine learning concepts and how to apply them in Python is recommended.

With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book.

Software and Hardware List

We’ll mainly work with the Python programming language. The first chapter will explain how to set up a proper Python environment on your operating system. Some examples also involve running web pages with JavaScript, so you’ll need a modern browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. In Chapter 14, we’ll run the Stable Diffusion model, which requires a powerful machine. We recommend a computer with 16 GB of RAM and a modern NVIDIA GPU to be able to generate good-looking images. System requirements are mentioned in the following table:

Software/Hardware Operating System requirements
Python 3.10+ Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (Any)
Javascript Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (Any)
