API development for data analysts/scientists with FastApi
summary
Claims that a working web API is easy for non-developers and shows a minimal FastApi app that returns JSON, a parameterized GET endpoint, and a POST to create resources. Demonstrates connecting to a database, basic API key auth, and running simple tests from a GitHub repo. Notes that the demo is about a dozen lines of code for a hello-world endpoint, that docs are auto-generated, and that the endpoints run and return expected responses.
