FAQPage Schema
How do I build async Python APIs with FastAPI and Pydantic V2?

FastAPI with Pydantic V2 enables building async Python APIs through type-hinted endpoints, V2 field validators, and automatic OpenAPI documentation. Use async/await for I/O operations, Pydantic's model_config for schema control, and Annotated for dependency injection to enforce type safety end-to-end.

Can I use SQLAlchemy with async FastAPI endpoints?

Yes. Async SQLAlchemy patterns integrate with FastAPI by using async sessions and awaiting database queries within async route handlers. This prevents blocking I/O and maintains the non-blocking advantages of async frameworks.

How do I add JWT authentication to FastAPI?

Implement JWT/OAuth2 authorization in FastAPI by validating tokens in dependency functions, encoding credentials with JWT libraries, and protecting routes with security schemes. FastAPI's security utilities simplify token validation and automatic OpenAPI documentation of auth requirements.

What's the difference between Pydantic V1 and V2 syntax in FastAPI?

Pydantic V2 replaces validators with field_validator and model_validator decorators, uses model_config for settings, and improves serialization control. FastAPI endpoints must use V2 syntax to leverage modern validation and avoid deprecated patterns.

Does FastAPI support WebSocket connections?

Yes. FastAPI provides built-in WebSocket support for real-time bidirectional communication. You define WebSocket endpoints similarly to HTTP routes, using async context managers and message handling within the same dependency injection framework.
