3 Building RESTful APIs with FastAPI

In this chapter, we delve into the essentials of building RESTful APIs. RESTful APIs are the backbone of web services, enabling applications to communicate and exchange data efficiently.

The application will interact with a CSV file, although the typical approach for such applications would be to use a database such as SQL or NoSQL.
