How to consume query parameters from post in fastapi?

@elisha_langworth 

In FastAPI, you can consume query parameters from a POST request by defining them as function parameters in your endpoint function. Here's an example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/items/")
async def create_item(item_id: int, item_name: str):
    return {"item_id": item_id, "item_name": item_name}

In the above example, the create_item endpoint function consumes two query parameters (item_id and item_name) from a POST request. These parameters are defined as function parameters with their respective types (int and str).

When you make a POST request to /items/, you can include the query parameters in the request body. For example, if you make a POST request to /items/ with the following JSON body:

1
2
3
4

{
  "item_id": 1,
  "item_name": "apple"
}

FastAPI will automatically extract the item_id and item_name query parameters from the request body and pass them to the create_item function. The function will then return a JSON response with the consumed query parameters.

Remember that query parameters in a POST request are typically included in the request body, rather than in the URL. FastAPI allows you to easily consume these parameters by defining them as function parameters in your endpoint functions.
