Learn how to build a REST API with Python.

Become a Flask Developer

In this module, you will learn how to build a REST API using a lighter web framework for Python, i.e., FastAPI. You will learn the basics of FastAPI and learn how to implement parallel processing in Python APIs. 

Finally, you will deploy your API on Microsoft Azure and build a Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD) Pipeline using Github.

Building REST API with Python

## Installation
Run the command below to install `FastAPI`. You can also create a virtual environment and then install the package.
```a 
pip install fastapi
```
You will also need an `ASGI` server for production such as `uvicorn`. An `ASGI` (*Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface*) is a spiritual successor to `WSGI`, intended to provide a standard interface between async-capable Python web servers, frameworks, and applications.
```a
pip install uvicorn
```
Now we are ready to run our first `FastAPI` code.
