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

Requests has a very simple and intuitive design, it's very easy to use, with sensible defaults. But at the same time, it's very powerful and customizable.

That's why, as said in the official website:

> Requests is one of the most downloaded Python packages of all time

The way you use it is very simple. For example, to do a `GET` request, you would write:

```Python

<div class="termy">

```console
$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip

---> 100%
```

</div>

!!! tip
    Every time you install a new package with `pip` under that environment, activate the environment again.

In this case, it might not be a problem, because it's the same user sending the password.

But if we use the same model for another *path operation*, we could be sending our user's passwords to every client.

!!! danger
    Never store the plain password of a user or send it in a response like this, unless you know all the caveats and you know what you are doing.

## Add an output model

There are many tools to generate clients from **OpenAPI**.

A common tool is <a href="https://openapi-generator.tech/" class="external-link" target="_blank">OpenAPI Generator</a>.

If you are building a **frontend**, a very interesting alternative is <a href="https://github.com/hey-api/openapi-ts" class="external-link" target="_blank">openapi-ts</a>.

## 迁移

因为我们直接使用 SQLAlchemy，并且我们不需要任何类型的插件来使用**FastAPI**，所以我们可以直接将数据库迁移至[Alembic](https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/)进行集成。

<div class="termy">

```console
// Use the command "serve" after running "build-all"
$ python ./scripts/docs.py serve

Warning: this is a very simple server. For development, use mkdocs serve instead.
This is here only to preview a site with translations already built.
Make sure you run the build-all command first.

This is just a **quick tutorial / refresher** about Python type hints. It covers only the minimum necessary to use them with **FastAPI**... which is actually very little.

**FastAPI** is all based on these type hints, they give it many advantages and benefits.

But even if you never use **FastAPI**, you would benefit from learning a bit about them.

!!! note

If you have an API that does a comparable amount of computations every time and you have a lot of clients, then the **CPU utilization** will probably *also be stable* (instead of constantly going up and down quickly).

Mas uma vez que você tenha concluído, você poderá testar tudo como se parecesse _online_.

Para fazer isso, primeiro construa toda a documentação:

<div class="termy">

```console
// Use o comando "build-all", isso leverá um tempinho
$ python ./scripts/docs.py build-all

    * As we said above, only one process can be listening on a specific IP and port.
    * This is one of the reasons why it's very useful when the same TLS Termination Proxy also takes care of the certificate renewal process.
