Technical requirements

To be able to follow the recipes in this chapter, you must have a good grasp of the following essentials:

• Python: You should have a good understanding of Python version 3.7 or higher. You should know how annotation works and about basic class inheritance.
• fastapi and asyncio libraries: If you are not following the book chapter by chapter, make sure you know how to build a simple FastAPI endpoint and understand async/await syntax.

The code used in the chapter is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/FastAPI-Cookbook/tree/main/Chapter08.

To manage dependencies more efficiently and keep your project isolated, consider creating a virtual environment within the project root folder. You can easily install all the dependencies simultaneously by using the requirements.txt file provided on the GitHub repository in the project folder:

$  pip install –r requirements.txt

You can then start with the first recipe...
