After struggling to get dependencies inside of middleware I learned that you can make global dependencies at the app level. I used this to set the user on every single route of the application without needing Depend on getting the user on each route.
from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI, Request
def get_db_session():
print("Calling 'get_db_session(...)'")
return "Some Value"
def get_current_user(session=Depends(get_db_session)):
print("Calling 'get_current_user(...)'")
return session
def recalculate_resources(request: Request, current_user=Depends(get_current_user)):
print("calling 'recalculate_resources(...)'")
request.state.foo = current_user
app = FastAPI(dependencies=[Depends(recalculate_resources)])
@app.get("/")
async def root(request: Request):
return {"foo_from_dependency": request.state.foo}

Handling Errors - FastAPI
FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production
fastapi.tiangolo.com [1]
This page shows how to customize your fastapi [2] errors. I found this very useful to setup common templates so that I can return the same 404’s both programatically and by default, so it all looks the same to the end user.
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse
class UnicornException(Exception):
def __init__(self, name: str):
self.name = name
app = FastAPI()
@app.exception_handler(UnicornException)
async def unicorn_exception_handler(request: Request, exc: UnicornException):
return JSONResponse(
status_code=418,
content={"message": f"Oops! {exc.name} did something. There goes a rainbow..."},
)
@app.get("/unicorns/{name}")
async def read_unicorn(name: str):
if name == "yolo":
raise UnicornException(name=name)
return {"unicorn_name": name}

Setting an additional log handler to the uvicorn logger for access logs in fastapi [2] was not straightforward, but This post was very helpful.

logger = logging.getLogger("uvicorn.access")
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s"))

Setting tags in your fastapi endpoints will group them in the docs. You can also set some metadata around the tags to get nice descriptions.
Here is a full example from the post.
from fastapi import FastAPI
tags_metadata = [
{"name": "Get Methods", "description": "One other way around"},
{"name": "Post Methods", "description": "Keep doing this"},
{"name": "Delete Methods", "description": "KILL 'EM ALL"},
{"name": "Put Methods", "description": "Boring"},
]
app = FastAPI(openapi_tags=tags_metadata)
@app.delete("/items", tags=["Delete Methods"])
@app.put("/items", tags=["Put Methods"])
@app.post("/items", tags=["Post Methods"])
@app.get("/items", tags=["Get Methods"])
async def handle_items():
return

Most bloggers on my twitter blog right into a file that goes on git [2]. I kinda expected to have more database folk. I have my blog in markdown on git and the editing experience is top notch. I can just find files edit them in MY EDITOR, push them and I got a post. I am running thoughts in a sqlite database with a fastapi [3] backend, and holy crap the instant nature of posting feels so much better. Both sides have good points.

GitHub - DataDog/ddqa: Datadog's QA manager for releases of GitHub repositories
Datadog's QA manager for releases of GitHub repositories - DataDog/ddqa
GitHub · github.com [1]
DataDog ddqa is building out a textual app and deploying it with pyapp. They have CI setup to fully build and cross compile their textual tui into github releases that you can just download from their releases page. This is something I am looking at for markata. This would be pretty sweet to be able to make it just work on places like windows. It would also be interesting to try to build a full desktop app with pyapp.

Write it down.
You had to dig deeper than face value at something.
Write it down.
You had to combine multiple pages of docs.

Someting was simply not obvious to you at first and it took someone else to give you that ah ha moment.
Write it down.
You had a small discovery that had a marginal impact on your day.
Write it down.
A blog does not have to be a Blog, it can be small meaningful posts. There are absolutely no rules. If you think you are going to end up with too many posts, that is a solvable problem, make a search, curate your favorite posts, make multiple feeds.
At the end of the day.
Write it down.
This post itself is a thought, the smallest component to my blogging strategy.

Path Operation Advanced Configuration - FastAPI
FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production
fastapi.tiangolo.com [1]
Excluding routes from fastapi docs, can be done from the route configuration using `include_in_schema`. This is handy for routes that are not really api based or duplicates.
From the Docs # [2]
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
@app.get("/items/", include_in_schema=False)
async def read_items():
return [{"item_id": "Foo"}]
trailing slash # [3]
I’ve had better luck just routing both naked and trailing slash routes in fastapi [4]. I’ve had api’s deployed as a subroute to a site rather than a subdomain, and the automatic redirect betweens them tended to always get messed up. This is pretty easy fix for the pain is causes just give vim a yyp, and if you don’t want deuplicates in your docs, ignore one.
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
@app.get("/items")
@app.get("/items/", include_in_schema=False)

return [{"item_id": "Foo"}]

GitHub · github.com [1]
You can protect your fastapi [2] docs behind auth so that not only can certain roles not run certain routes, but they cannot even see the docs at all. This way no one that shouldn’t be poking around can even discover routes they shouldn’t be using.

You can find your customers next billing date through the stripe api by using Invoice. and passing in customer, customer_details, subscription, or schedule.

stripe.api_key = "sk_test_51ODvHtB26msLKqCAPBAo1qkBBuIfT5tQBX6YFWCLMsPixIExxITCRVa9tNCIqkdQS8olhR79NYXsFWBPKsM3LbGO00zEcNQfNI"
invoice = stripe.Invoice.upcoming(customer="cus_NeZwdNtLEOXuvB")
Within the invoice, you can find the next_payment_attempt as a epoch.
date = datetime.fromtimestamp(invoice.next_payment_attempt)
amount = invoice.amount_due
currency = invoice.currency

Search
Use the search APIs to look up and retrieve objects in your Stripe data. Using search is a faster alternative to paginating through all resources.

Stripe has it’s own query language for querying data. I’m just getting into using it and it seems pretty good so far. I needed to lookup the price for products. I was able to find prices for my product using the python api as shown below.
stripe.Price.search(query="active: 'true' and product: 'prod_P8SfwtxJ45cWE2'")
