If something seems interesting and useful to your project, go ahead and check it, but otherwise, you might probably just skip them.

!!! tip

    Alternatively, you can perform the same steps that scripts does manually.

    Go into the language directory, for the Spanish translations it's at `docs/es/`:

    ```console
    $ cd docs/es/
    ```

    Then run `mkdocs` in that directory:

    ```console
    $ mkdocs serve --dev-addr 8008
    ```

You will see the JSON response as:

```JSON
{"message": "Hello World"}
```

### Interactive API docs

Now go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs</a>.

```Python hl_lines="6-7"
{!../../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial001.py!}
```

The value of the path parameter `item_id` will be passed to your function as the argument `item_id`.

So, if you run this example and go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo</a>, you will see a response of:

```JSON
{"item_id":"foo"}
```

## Path parameters with types

## Add tests for the SQL app

Let's update the example from [SQL (Relational) Databases](../tutorial/sql-databases.md){.internal-link target=_blank} to use a testing database.

All the app code is the same, you can go back to that chapter check how it was.

The only changes here are in the new testing file.

Your normal dependency `get_db()` would return a database session.

### About `root_path`

Keep in mind that the server (Uvicorn) won't use that `root_path` for anything else than passing it to the app.

But if you go with your browser to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/app</a> you will see the normal response:

```JSON
{
    "message": "Hello World",
    "root_path": "/api/v1"

* Python <a href="https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi" class="external-link" target="_blank">**FastAPI**</a>-Backend:
    * **Schnell**: Sehr hohe Leistung, auf Augenhöhe mit **NodeJS** und **Go** (dank Starlette und Pydantic).
    * **Intuitiv**: Hervorragende Editor-Unterstützung. <abbr title="Auch bekannt als automatische Vervollständigung, IntelliSense">Codevervollständigung</abbr> überall. Weniger Zeitaufwand für das Debuggen.

<div class="termy">

```console
$ uvicorn main:app --reload

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

</div>

## Check it

Go to the interactive docs at: <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs</a>.

You will see something like this:

```

</div>

That would work for most of the cases. 😎

You could use that command for example to start your **FastAPI** app in a container, in a server, etc.

## ASGI Servers

Let's go a little deeper into the details.

FastAPI uses a standard for building Python web frameworks and servers called <abbr title="Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface">ASGI</abbr>. FastAPI is an ASGI web framework.

    ```

Notice that the *path operations* define the models they use for request payload and response payload, using the models `Item` and `ResponseMessage`.

### API Docs

If you go to the API docs, you will see that it has the **schemas** for the data to be sent in requests and received in responses:
