from fastapi import FastAPI
import requests

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/get_data_from_external_api")
async def get_data_from_external_api():
    response = requests.get("https://api.example.com/data")
    
    if response.status_code == 200:
        data = response.json()
        return data
    else:
        return {"error": "Failed to fetch data from external API"}

In the above code, we define a route /get_data_from_external_api that makes a GET request to an external API https://api.example.com/data using the requests library. If the request is successful (status code 200), we return the data from the external API. Otherwise, we return an error message.

Make sure to install the requests library by running pip install requests before running the above code.
