PromptBuild a REST API with authentication and async database operations
Beforegeneric AI agent
FastAPI is a great framework for building APIs in Python. You'll want to set up a basic FastAPI app with some endpoints. For authentication, you should use JWT tokens. You'll need to create Pydantic models to define your request and response schemas. For database operations, you should use an async-compatible library like SQLAlchemy with async mode. You might want to add error handling and validation to your endpoints. OpenAPI documentation is automatically generated by FastAPI, which is helpful. You should test your endpoints to make sure they work correctly. It's also good to think about deployment and how you'll run the API in production. Would you like help with any specific part of setting up the API?

FASTAPI ENDPOINT: /api/v1/tasks (with JWT + Async DB)

PYDANTIC MODELS
  class TaskCreate(BaseModel):
    title: str (min_length=1, max_length=255)
    description: Optional(str) = None
    priority: Literal['low', 'medium', 'high']

  class TaskResponse(BaseModel):
    id: int
    title: str
    created_at: datetime
    model_config = ConfigDict(from_attributes=True)

ENDPOINT DEFINITION
  @app.post('/api/v1/tasks', response_model=TaskResponse, status_code=201)
  async def create_task(
    task: TaskCreate,
    current_user: User = Depends(get_current_user),
    db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)
  ) -> TaskResponse:
    db_task = Task(title=task.title, user_id=current_user.id)
    db.add(db_task)
    await db.commit()
    await db.refresh(db_task)
    return db_task

ASYNC DATABASE SETUP
  engine = create_async_engine('postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@localhost/db')
  async_session = sessionmaker(engine, class_=AsyncSession, expire_on_commit=False)

  async def get_db():
    async with async_session() as session:
      yield session

JWT AUTHENTICATION
  SECRET_KEY = 'your-secret-key'
  ALGORITHM = 'HS256'
  
  def create_access_token(data: dict, expires_delta: timedelta):
    to_encode = data.copy()
    to_encode.update({'exp': datetime.utcnow() + expires_delta})
    return jwt.encode(to_encode, SECRET_KEY, algorithm=ALGORITHM)

ERROR HANDLING
  @app.exception_handler(ValueError)
  async def value_error_handler(request: Request, exc: ValueError):
    return JSONResponse(status_code=400, content={'detail': str(exc)})

OPENAPI DOCUMENTATION (auto-generated)
  Visible at: /docs (Swagger UI)
  Includes: All endpoints, schemas, auth requirements
  Export: /openapi.json for client code generation
