## Use the `fastapi run` Command

In short, use `fastapi run` to serve your FastAPI application:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ <font color="#4E9A06">fastapi</font> run <u style="text-decoration-style:single">main.py</u>
<font color="#3465A4">INFO    </font> Using path <font color="#3465A4">main.py</font>

# Advanced Middleware

In the main tutorial you read how to add [Custom Middleware](../tutorial/middleware.md){.internal-link target=_blank} to your application.

And then you also read how to handle [CORS with the `CORSMiddleware`](../tutorial/cors.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

In this section we'll see how to use other middlewares.

## Adding ASGI middlewares

# Advanced Security

## Additional Features

There are some extra features to handle security apart from the ones covered in the [Tutorial - User Guide: Security](../../tutorial/security/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

!!! tip
    The next sections are **not necessarily "advanced"**.

    And it's possible that for your use case, the solution is in one of them.

## Read the Tutorial first

    * Wenn Sie FastAPI nicht, und direkt Starlette (oder ein anderes Tool wie Sanic, Flask, Responder, usw.) verwenden würden, müssten Sie die gesamte Datenvalidierung und Serialisierung selbst implementieren. Ihre finale Anwendung hätte also immer noch den gleichen Overhead, als ob sie mit FastAPI erstellt worden wäre. Und in vielen Fällen ist diese Datenvalidierung und Serialisierung der größte Teil des in Anwendungen geschriebenen Codes.

```

## Other middlewares

You can later read more about other middlewares in the [Advanced User Guide: Advanced Middleware](../advanced/middleware.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

So, you should be able to pin to a version like:

```txt
fastapi>=0.45.0,<0.46.0
```

Breaking changes and new features are added in "MINOR" versions.

!!! tip
    The "MINOR" is the number in the middle, for example, in `0.2.3`, the MINOR version is `2`.

## Upgrading the FastAPI versions

You should add tests for your app.

But here's the key point.

The security and dependency injection stuff is written once.

And you can make it as complex as you want. And still, have it written only once, in a single place. With all the flexibility.

But you can have thousands of endpoints (*path operations*) using the same security system.

But **FastAPI** will handle it, give you the correct data in your function, and validate and document the correct schema in the *path operation*.

You can also declare singular values to be received as part of the body.

# OpenAPI

There are several utilities to handle OpenAPI.

from docs_src.websockets.tutorial003 import app, html

client = TestClient(app)


def test_get():
    response = client.get("/")
    assert response.text == html


def test_websocket_handle_disconnection():
    with client.websocket_connect("/ws/1234") as connection, client.websocket_connect(
        "/ws/5678"
    ) as connection_two:
        connection.send_text("Hello from 1234")
