Before, this page used to list links to external articles.

The process that happens when your API app calls the *external API* is named a "callback". Because the software that the external developer wrote sends a request to your API and then your API *calls back*, sending a request to an *external API* (that was probably created by the same developer).

    This will (let's imagine) let the API user (some external developer) create an
    invoice.

    And this path operation will:

    * Send the invoice to the client.
    * Collect the money from the client.
    * Send a notification back to the API user (the external developer), as a callback.
        * At this point is that the API will somehow send a POST request to the
            external API with the notification of the invoice event

    This will (let's imagine) let the API user (some external developer) create an
    invoice.

The people that help others the most in GitHub Discussions can become [**FastAPI Experts**](./fastapi-people.md#fastapi-experts).

This is normally the best way to contribute to the project.
