  • Set up FastAPI app with modular routing using APIRouter.
  • Added a root route to verify the API is live.
  • Initialized pyproject.toml using uv with all necessary dependencies (FastAPI, Uvicorn, Requests, etc.).
  • Configured main.py as the entry point for the application.
  • Organized codebase into modular folders: routes, components, db, and utils inside the app directory.
  • Added README.md with setup instructions, and project banner.
  • No need for manual venv management; uv handles everything automatically.

Walkthrough

A new backend directory named new-backend was introduced, containing a FastAPI application with a basic root endpoint, project metadata, and setup instructions using the "uv" tool. The main project README was updated to reflect these backend changes, including new setup steps and command modifications. A .python-version file specifying Python 3.13 was also added.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
README.md Updated banner, renamed backend directory references, added "uv" tool installation, updated commands.
new-backend/.python-version Added file specifying Python version 3.13.
new-backend/README.md Added backend-specific README with FastAPI, "uv" usage, and project structure details.
new-backend/app/routes/routes.py Added FastAPI router with root GET endpoint returning a live message.
new-backend/main.py Created FastAPI app, included router, and added Uvicorn server startup logic.
new-backend/pyproject.toml Added project metadata and dependencies for FastAPI, requests, and Uvicorn.

Poem

A backend hops in, shiny and new,
With FastAPI routes and a "uv" or two.
Python 3.13, set in stone,
A welcome awaits when you call it at home.
Docs refreshed, the code is bright—
The rabbit’s backend takes off in flight!

new-backend/app/routes/routes.py (1)

1-7: LGTM! Consider adding API documentation for future endpoints.

The basic router setup is correct and follows FastAPI conventions. As you expand the API, consider adding:

  • Response models using Pydantic
  • Proper HTTP status codes
  • API documentation with docstrings
  • Error handling middleware
new-backend/pyproject.toml (1)

4-4: Update the placeholder description.

Replace the placeholder description with a meaningful project description.

-description = "Add your description here"
+description = "FastAPI backend for Perspective-AI project providing alternative perspectives on content"
new-backend/main.py (1)

2-2: Consider using absolute imports for better reliability.

The relative import might cause issues if the script is run from different directories. Consider using absolute imports or ensuring the module path is properly configured.

-from app.routes.routes import router as article_router
+from new_backend.app.routes.routes import router as article_router

Alternatively, ensure that the new-backend directory is always the working directory when running the script, which appears to be the intended approach based on the README instructions.

1-1: Verify Python 3.13 availability and compatibility.

Details

❓ Verification inconclusive

Consider verifying dependency versions for security and compatibility.

Ensure the specified minimum versions are secure and compatible with Python 3.13.


🌐 Web query:

What are the latest stable versions of FastAPI, Uvicorn, and Requests? Are there any known security vulnerabilities in fastapi>=0.115.12, uvicorn>=0.34.3, and requests>=2.32.3?

💡 Result:

Latest Stable Versions (as of June 2025)

  • FastAPI: 0.115.12, released March 23, 2025[1][4].
  • Uvicorn: The search results do not specify the absolute latest version, but all referenced vulnerabilities are in versions prior to 0.11.7 or 0.13.3-1, with no current vulnerabilities noted for versions higher than those[7][10]. Based on common release cadence and lack of new CVEs, using at least 0.34.3 (as in your query) is considered current and safe.
  • Requests: The search did not return an explicit version listing. Based on typical release cycles, 2.32.3 is a recent and stable release. No newer version is referenced or implied.

Security Vulnerabilities in Specified Versions

fastapi >=0.115.12:

  • No known public vulnerabilities are reported for FastAPI 0.115.12 as of March 2025[1][4].
  • The only recent notable FastAPI vulnerability discussed is CVE-2024-24762, a denial-of-service issue related to regular expressions, but this is included for context only as it impacted earlier versions and is not reported to affect 0.115.12[6].

uvicorn >=0.34.3:

  • Earlier versions of Uvicorn (<0.11.7) were impacted by CVE-2020-7695 (HTTP response splitting) and CVE-2020-7694 (ANSI escape sequence injection in logs)[7][10].
  • Your specified version (>=0.34.3) is far ahead of these, and no vulnerabilities are reported for versions 0.13.3-1 and later. There are no publicly reported vulnerabilities affecting 0.34.3 or newer as of June 2025[7][10].

requests >=2.32.3:

  • The available results do not indicate any active vulnerabilities in Requests version 2.32.3 or later. Requests is a widely used HTTP library, and significant vulnerabilities are generally quickly reported and patched. No CVEs or advisories are referenced for this version in the context of your query.

Summary Table

Package Latest Stable Version Any Known Vulns in Specified Version?
FastAPI 0.115.12 None reported[1][4][6]
Uvicorn ≥0.34.3 None reported for 0.13.3-1 and later[7][10]
Requests ≥2.32.3 None reported in search results

Additional Notes

  • If your stack uses FastAPI, Uvicorn, and Requests at or above these versions (fastapi>=0.115.12, uvicorn>=0.34.3, requests>=2.32.3), there are no documented unresolved security issues in public databases or major advisories as of June 2025[1][4][7].
  • Always monitor package repositories and official channels for new advisories, as security landscapes can change rapidly.

In conclusion: The versions specified in your query are the latest stable releases (or are sufficiently current), and no known security vulnerabilities impact them as of June 2025 according to public sources[1][4][7].

Verify if the requests dependency is needed.

The requests library is listed as a dependency but doesn't appear to be used in the current codebase. Consider removing it if not needed or document its intended use.

Remove unused requests dependency

A search across the new-backend code (excluding the literal in README.md) shows no imports or calls to requests. Unless you plan to use it shortly, you can safely remove it:

• File: new-backend/pyproject.toml
– Line 9: delete "requests>=2.32.3",

If you do intend to use requests, please add a comment in the README or a code placeholder to make that clear.
