This project is a simple demonstration of how to build a production-level API using FastAPI with JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication.

FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. It's easy to use, easy to learn, and highly efficient. JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object.

In this project, we'll create a FastAPI application that includes JWT-based authentication to secure our endpoints.

• FastAPI: Utilizing the power of FastAPI for efficient API development.
• JWT Authentication: Implementing JWT-based authentication to secure endpoints.
• Production Ready: Demonstrating best practices for building a production-level API.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/pygodzilla/SimpleFastAPI-JWT.git
   cd SimpleFastAPI-JWT

2. Install dependencies:

   python3 -m venv .pyenv
   source .pyenv/bin/activate
   pip3 install -r requirements.txt

1. Run the FastAPI application:

   • By default FastAPI runs at 8000, you can change it to another port using --port flag followed by the port number

   uvicorn main:app --reload

2. Access the API documentation at http://localhost:8000/docs to explore available endpoints and interact with them.
