Query Parameters in FastAPI

Below are the key concepts related to this:

• POST Requests: Post requests are mainly used for sending data to the server. Before delving into consuming query parameters, it’s essential to grasp the basics of POST requests. In FastAPI, POST requests are commonly used for submitting data to the server.
• Query Parameters in POST Requests: In traditional GET requests query parameters are part of the URL, but in a POST request, query parameters are typically sent in the request body. FastAPI simplifies this process, allowing developers to access these parameters effortlessly. In FastAPI, there is a request object in every endpoint that has info about all query parameters sent by the user, so we can use that request object and extract info from that object.
• FastAPI’s Request Object: In FastAPI there is a Request object that encapsulates the incoming HTTP request. This object includes all the necessary information about the request, making it easy to extract query parameters. we can extract all info from this request object and use them in our application as needed.

FastAPI is a powerful and efficient Python web framework for building APIs with ease. For most of the applications getting data from a user is done through a POST request and this is a common task for developers is consume query parameters from POST requests. In this article, we’ll explore the concepts behind this process and provide practical examples to illustrate how it’s done.
