### OAuth 1

There was an OAuth 1, which is very different from OAuth2, and more complex, as it included direct specifications on how to encrypt the communication.

It is not very popular or used nowadays.

OAuth2 doesn't specify how to encrypt the communication, it expects you to have your application served with HTTPS.

!!! tip
    In the section about **deployment** you will see how to set up HTTPS for free, using Traefik and Let's Encrypt.

# OpenAPI

There are several utilities to handle OpenAPI.

## Deployment Strategies

There are several ways to do it depending on your specific use case and the tools that you use.

You could **deploy a server** yourself using a combination of tools, you could use a **cloud service** that does part of the work for you, or other possible options.

This tutorial shows you how to use **FastAPI** with most of its features, step by step.

Each section gradually builds on the previous ones, but it's structured to separate topics, so that you can go directly to any specific one to solve your specific API needs.

It is also built to work as a future reference.

So you can come back and see exactly what you need.

## Run the code

### Recap

In summary, you declare **once** the types of parameters, body, etc. as function parameters.

You do that with standard modern Python types.

You don't have to learn a new syntax, the methods or classes of a specific library, etc.

Just standard **Python**.

For example, for an `int`:

```Python
item_id: int
```

or for a more complex `Item` model:

```Python
item: Item
```

common_parameters --> read_users
```

This way you write shared code once and **FastAPI** takes care of calling it for your *path operations*.

!!! check
    Notice that you don't have to create a special class and pass it somewhere to **FastAPI** to "register" it or anything similar.

    You just pass it to `Depends` and **FastAPI** knows how to do the rest.
