In this advanced quest, you will dive deep into the world of API development using FastAPI, focusing specifically on securing your APIs against various threats. You'll learn how to implement authentication and authorization mechanisms, protect against common vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting, and utilize best practices for API documentation and versioning. By the end of this quest, you will have created a robust, secure API ready for production deployment. The quest will also cover integrating FastAPI with databases, using environment variables for configuration, and setting up continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to streamline your development process. This quest is designed for developers who are comfortable with Python and want to take their API development skills to the next level.
