### Step 1: import `FastAPI`

```Python hl_lines="1"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001.py!}
```

`FastAPI` is a Python class that provides all the functionality for your API.

!!! note "Technical Details"
    `FastAPI` is a class that inherits directly from `Starlette`.

=== "Hypercorn"

    <div class="termy">

    ```console
    $ hypercorn main:app --bind 0.0.0.0:80

    Running on 0.0.0.0:8080 over http (CTRL + C to quit)
    ```

    </div>

!!! note
    The command `uvicorn main:app` refers to:

    * `main`: the file `main.py` (the Python "module").
    * `app`: the object created inside of `main.py` with the line `app = FastAPI()`.

    It is equivalent to:

<span style="color: green;">INFO</span>:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
```

</div>

If you use Hypercorn, it also has the option `--root-path`.

!!! note "Technical Details"
    The ASGI specification defines a `root_path` for this use case.

    And the `--root-path` command line option provides that `root_path`.

### Checking the current `root_path`

@app.get("/")
async def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"}


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
async def read_item(item_id: int, q: Union[str, None] = None):
    return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}
```

**Note**:

如果你不知道是否会用到，可以查看文档的 _"In a hurry?"_ 章节中 <a href="https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/zh/async/#in-a-hurry" target="_blank">关于 `async` 和 `await` 的部分</a>。

### 运行

通过以下命令运行服务器：

participant dep as Dep with yield
participant operation as Path Operation
participant tasks as Background tasks

    Note over client,tasks: Can raise exception for dependency, handled after response is sent
    Note over client,operation: Can raise HTTPException and can change the response
    client ->> dep: Start request
    Note over dep: Run code up to yield
    opt raise
        dep -->> handler: Raise HTTPException

```

## Create a `websocket`

In your **FastAPI** application, create a `websocket`:

```Python hl_lines="1  46-47"
{!../../../docs_src/websockets/tutorial001.py!}
```

!!! note "Technical Details"
    You could also use `from starlette.websockets import WebSocket`.

    **FastAPI** provides the same `WebSocket` directly just as a convenience for you, the developer. But it comes directly from Starlette.

## Install FastAPI

The first step is to install FastAPI:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install fastapi

---> 100%
```

</div>

!!! note
    When you install with `pip install fastapi` it comes with some default optional standard dependencies.

    If you don't want to have those optional dependencies, you can instead install `pip install fastapi-slim`.

@app.get("/")
async def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"}


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
async def read_item(item_id: int, q: Union[str, None] = None):
    return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}
```

**Note**

@app.get("/")
async def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"}


@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
async def read_item(item_id: int, q: Union[str, None] = None):
    return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}
```
