Creating RESTful Endpoints

Now, we will create the routes to expose each of the CRUD operations with a specific endpoint. In this recipe, we will see how FastAPI leverages Python type annotations to define expected request and response data types, streamlining the process of validation and serializing data.

Getting ready…

Before starting the recipe, make sure you know how to set up your local environment and create a basic FastAPI server. You can review it in the Creating a new FastAPI project and Understanding FastAPI basics recipes in Chapter 1, First Steps with FastAPI.

Also, we will use the CRUD operations created in the previous recipe.

How to do it…

Let’s create a main.py file in the project root folder to code the server with the endpoints. FastAPI simplifies the implementation of different HTTP methods, aligning them with the corresponding CRUD operations.

Let’s now write the endpoints for each operation:
