idemptx 0.1.2

Idempotency decorator for FastAPI

🧹 idemptx

A minimal, pluggable idempotency decorator for FastAPI, designed for payment and retry-safe APIs.

Supports Redis as backend for deduplication, distributed locking, and response caching.

---

✨ Features

• ✅ Supports Idempotency-Key header out of the box
• 🔒 Redis-backed lock to prevent double execution
• ⚡️ Sync & Async backends with auto-detection
• 🧠 Request signature validation (method + URL + headers + body)
• ⏳ Configurable wait_timeout behavior
• 🔁 Response replay from cache (with headers)

---

📦 Installation

pip install idemptx

---

🚀 Quick Start

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from idemptx import idempotent
from idemptx.backend.redis import RedisBackend

app = FastAPI()
redis_backend = RedisBackend()

@app.post('/orders')
@idempotent(storage_backend=redis_backend)
async def create_order(request: Request):
    return {'status': 'created'}

⚠️ You must include request: Request in your endpoint parameters!

---

🔧 Advanced Usage

@idempotent(
    storage_backend=redis_backend,
    key_ttl=60,
    wait_timeout=3.0,
    validate_signature=True,
)

• key_ttl: How long to hold cache and lock (in seconds)
• wait_timeout: Wait for lock to be released (0 = immediate failure)
• validate_signature: Whether to compare request content on replays

---

🔐 Response Headers

Header	Description
Idempotency-Key	Echoed back to client
X-Idempotency-Signature	Hash of request for conflict detection
X-Idempotency-Status	"hit" or "new"
