Now that we built our first FastAPI endpoint, let's just review what it takes to get a minimal API endpoint up and running in an application.
0:10
Pretty simple. So we're gonna import FastAPI to use FastAPI, and then we have to have a server to run it. So we're gonna use uveicorn.
0:17
And we create an instance of the FastAPI object, calling it API, create a function, some kind of method that we're gonna call,
0:25
and we're gonna decorate it with HTTP verbs and their configuration. So an HTTP get against API/calculate, we'll run this right here.
0:36
And then we just say uveicorn.run, we pass it the API object, we say the host and we say the port, and that's it. We're off to the races.

We have our app up and running.
