In that case, the URL would be: `/files//home/johndoe/myfile.txt`, with a double slash (`//`) between `files` and `home`.

## Recap

With **FastAPI**, by using short, intuitive and standard Python type declarations, you get:

* Editor support: error checks, autocompletion, etc.
* Data "<abbr title="converting the string that comes from an HTTP request into Python data">parsing</abbr>"

# Run a Server Manually

## 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>

```

この場合、以下にアクセスすると:

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=1
```

もしくは、

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=True
```

もしくは、

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=true
```

もしくは、

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=on
```

もしくは、

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=yes
```

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|------------|------|-------------|
| `title` | `str` | The title of the API. |
| `summary` | `str` | A short summary of the API. <small>Available since OpenAPI 3.1.0, FastAPI 0.99.0.</small> |
| `description` | `str` | A short description of the API. It can use Markdown. |
| `version` | `string` | The version of the API. This is the version of your own application, not of OpenAPI. For example `2.5.0`. |

It is a project from the Linux Foundation. It provides **HTTPS certificates for free**, in an automated way. These certificates use all the standard cryptographic security, and are short-lived (about 3 months), so the **security is actually better** because of their reduced lifespan.

    * Read the new docs: [Dependencies with `yield` and `except`](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/dependencies/dependencies-with-yield/#dependencies-with-yield-and-except).

In short, if you had dependencies that looked like:

```Python
def my_dep():
    try:
        yield
    except SomeException:
        pass
```

In this case, if you go to:

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=1
```

or

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=True
```

or

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=true
```

or

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=on
```

or

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=yes
```

Avec ce code, en allant sur :

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=1
```

ou

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=True
```

ou

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=true
```

ou

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/foo?short=on
```

ou

```

```

It's all based on standard **Python type** declarations (thanks to Pydantic). No new syntax to learn. Just standard modern Python.

If you need a 2 minute refresher of how to use Python types (even if you don't use FastAPI), check the short tutorial: [Python Types](python-types.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

You write standard Python with types:

```Python
from datetime import date

from pydantic import BaseModel

    And the `dict` you receive as `weights` will actually have `int` keys and `float` values.

## Recap

With **FastAPI** you have the maximum flexibility provided by Pydantic models, while keeping your code simple, short and elegant.

But with all the benefits:

* Editor support (completion everywhere!)
* Data conversion (a.k.a. parsing / serialization)
* Data validation
* Schema documentation
