It would actually be common to use Requests *inside* of a FastAPI application.

But still, FastAPI got quite some inspiration from Requests.

**Requests** is a library to *interact* with APIs (as a client), while **FastAPI** is a library to *build* APIs (as a server).

They are, more or less, at opposite ends, complementing each other.

and then it won't include it in the OpenAPI schema.

## Mounting a sub-application

If you need to mount a sub-application (as described in [Sub Applications - Mounts](sub-applications.md){.internal-link target=_blank}) while also using a proxy with `root_path`, you can do it normally, as you would expect.

    client to send the form field `grant_type` with the value `"password"`, which
    is required in the OAuth2 specification (it seems that for no particular reason),
    while for `OAuth2PasswordRequestForm` `grant_type` is optional.

    Read more about it in the
    [FastAPI docs for Simple OAuth2 with Password and Bearer](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/security/simple-oauth2/).

```
https://example.com/items/foo
```

...the path would be:

```
/items/foo
```

!!! info
    A "path" is also commonly called an "endpoint" or a "route".

While building an API, the "path" is the main way to separate "concerns" and "resources".

#### Operation

"Operation" here refers to one of the HTTP "methods".

One of:

* `POST`
* `GET`
* `PUT`

def get_discussion_nodes(settings: Settings) -> List[DiscussionsNode]:
    discussion_nodes: List[DiscussionsNode] = []
    discussion_edges = get_graphql_question_discussion_edges(settings=settings)

    while discussion_edges:
        for discussion_edge in discussion_edges:
            discussion_nodes.append(discussion_edge.node)
        last_edge = discussion_edges[-1]

* A particular program while it is **running** on the operating system, using the CPU, and storing things on memory. This is also called a **process**.

### What is a Process

The word **process** is normally used in a more specific way, only referring to the thing that is running in the operating system (like in the last point above):

* A particular program while it is **running** on the operating system.

Now, from a **developer's perspective**, here are several things to keep in mind while thinking about HTTPS:

* For HTTPS, **the server** needs to **have "certificates"** generated by a **third party**.
    * Those certificates are actually **acquired** from the third party, not "generated".
