HTTP Methods
Learn to build GET and POST APIs using the FastAPI framework.
We'll cover the following
HTTP GET is a request method to retrieve data from the server. An HTTP GET method should have the following characteristics:
- Safe: It doesn’t change or modify the state of the server.
- Idempotent: It doesn’t result in any side effects for the server.
- Cacheable: It allows caching of the HTTP response.
Note: All safe methods are also idempotent.
We can easily build a simple HTTP GET API with the FastAPI framework.
