### OpenAPI

**FastAPI** generates a "schema" with all your API using the **OpenAPI** standard for defining APIs.

#### "Schema"

A "schema" is a definition or description of something. Not the code that implements it, but just an abstract description.

#### API "schema"

    "servers": [
        {
            "url": "/api/v1"
        },
        {
            "url": "https://stag.example.com",
            "description": "Staging environment"
        },
        {
            "url": "https://prod.example.com",
            "description": "Production environment"
        }
    ],
    "paths": {
            // More stuff here
    }
}
```

[build-system]
requires = ["pdm-backend"]
build-backend = "pdm.backend"

[project]
name = "fastapi"
dynamic = ["version"]
description = "FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production"
readme = "README.md"

And it will probably vary a lot from one app to the next.

It could be just one or two lines of code, like:

```Python
callback_url = "https://example.com/api/v1/invoices/events/"
httpx.post(callback_url, json={"description": "Invoice paid", "paid": True})
```

```Python
from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI, HTTPException
from typing_extensions import Annotated

app = FastAPI()


data = {
    "plumbus": {"description": "Freshly pickled plumbus", "owner": "Morty"},
    "portal-gun": {"description": "Gun to create portals", "owner": "Rick"},
}


class OwnerError(Exception):
    pass


def get_username():
    try:
        yield "Rick"
