Automating API Documentation with FastAPI

Rejected

Session Description

As we know, Bad docs == Frustrated developers while Good docs == Happy developers.


API documentation is crucial for smooth integration, yet manual documentation is often outdated, inconsistent and hard to maintain.


FastAPI, a modern and Open Source asynchronous web framework, automates API documentation using OpenAPI and JSON Schema, ensuring your docs are always up-to-date, with zero extra effort.


In this talk, I'll cover:

  • Impact of API documentation
  • Issues with manual documentation
  • FastAPI + OpenAPI
  • Live Demo, where participants will get a chance to explore Swagger UI & ReDoc
  • Customizing OpenAPI
  • QnA

By the end, I'll be able to show how FastAPI, backed by open source principles, makes API documentation effortless, improving developer experience and API adoption while embracing the power of FOSS.

This is cool

FastAPI has documentation with Swagger enabled by default - not sure how helpful or unique the overall topic is unless something else is also being covered as part of the same.

Couldn't find any project on GitHub which can validate this proposal.
