Getting started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or later is required to use this package. For more details, please read our page on Python Functions version support policy.

Instructions

1. Follow the guide to create an app. If you're testing the function locally, make sure to update to the latest version of Core Tools.
2. Ensure your app is using programming model v2 and contains an HttpTrigger function.
3. Add azurefunctions-extensions-http-fastapi to your requirements.txt
4. Import Request and different types of responses from azurefunctions.extensions.http.fastapi in your HttpTrigger functions.
5. Change the request and response types to ones imported from azurefunctions.extensions.http.fastapi.
6. Add "PYTHON_ENABLE_INIT_INDEXING": "1" to your local.settings.json file or App Settings.
7. Run your function app and try it out!

Bind to the FastApi type

The Azure Functions Extensions HTTP FastApi library for Python allows you to create a function app with FastApi Request or Response types. When your function runs, you will receive the FastApi Request type, and you can return a FastApi Response type.

FastApi is one of the top Python web frameworks that provides elegant and powerful Request/Response types and functionalities. With this integration, you are empowered to use Request/Response types the same way as with native FastApi. For example, HTTP streaming upload and download scenarios are now possible! Please reference the FastApi documentation for further information.

# This function app receives streaming data from a client and processes it in real-time.
# It demonstrates streaming upload capabilities for scenarios such as uploading large files,
# processing continuous data streams, or handling IoT device data.

import azure.functions as func
from azurefunctions.extensions.http.fastapi import Request, JSONResponse

app = func.FunctionApp(http_auth_level=func.AuthLevel.FUNCTION)

@app.route(route="streaming_upload", methods=[func.HttpMethod.POST])
async def streaming_upload(req: Request) -> JSONResponse:
    """Handle streaming upload requests."""
    # Process each chunk of data as it arrives
    async for chunk in req.stream():
        process_data_chunk(chunk)

    # Once all data is received, return a JSON response indicating successful processing
    return JSONResponse({"status": "Data uploaded and processed successfully"})

def process_data_chunk(chunk: bytes):
    """Process each data chunk."""
    # Add custom processing logic here
    pass

More sample code

Get started with our FastApi samples.

Several samples are available in this GitHub repository. These samples provide example code for additional scenarios commonly encountered while working with FastApi:

• fastapi_samples_streaming_upload - An example on how to send and receive a streaming request within your function.

• fastapi_samples_streaming_download - An example on how to send your HTTP response via streaming to the caller.
