FastAPI Code Samples: API Security in Action

What is FastAPI?

FastAPI is a modern, fast, web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+. FastAPI helps developers build applications that are secure by design. FastAPI offers developers many useful modules and services to write secure code, use cryptography correctly, and implement authorization. You can integrate the Auth0 by Okta Identity Platform with FastAPI's security features to deliver a balance between security, privacy, and convenience to your users.

Auth0 handles billions of login transactions each month. That's only possible because Auth0 is committed to solving complex identity problems by empowering developers with tools that meet their unique security needs and requirements. Please let us show you how Auth0 makes identity and security work for you by exploring the FastAPI code samples below.
