FastAPI is a high-performance web framework for building HTTP-based service APIs in Python 3.8+. [3] It uses Pydantic and type hints to validate, serialize and deserialize data. FastAPI also automatically generates OpenAPI documentation for APIs built with it. [4] It was first released in 2018.
Originally developed to support the Swagger framework, it became a separate project in 2015, overseen by the OpenAPI Initiative, an open-source collaboration project of the Linux Foundation. [2] [3] An OpenAPI Description (OAD) [4] represents a formal description of an API that tools can use to generate code, documentation, test cases, and more.
The Swagger API project was created in 2011 by Tony Tam, technical co-founder of the dictionary site Wordnik.During the development of Wordnik's products, the need for automation of API documentation and client SDK generation became a major source of frustration.

For example, the ability to create an account on an external site/app using your Facebook credentials is made possible using Facebook's open API. Many large technology firms, such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, allow the use of their service by third parties and competitors .
YAML (/ ˈ j æ m əl /, rhymes with camel [4]) was first proposed by Clark Evans in 2001, [15] who designed it together with Ingy döt Net [16] and Oren Ben-Kiki. [16]Originally YAML was said to mean Yet Another Markup Language, [17] because it was released in an era that saw a proliferation of markup languages for presentation and connectivity (HTML, XML, SGML, etc.).
An example of a popular web API is the Astronomy Picture of the Day API operated by the American space agency NASA. It is a server-side API used to retrieve photographs of space or other images of interest to astronomers, and metadata about the images. According to the API documentation, [15] the API has one endpoint:
It is also used for the Blender user manual [10] and Python API documentation. [11] In 2010, Eric Holscher announced [12] the creation of the Read the Docs project as part of an effort to make maintenance of software documentation easier. Read the Docs automates the process of building and uploading Sphinx documentation after every commit.
