Starting the FastAPI Server

To start the FastAPI server, execute the following command:

python -m uvicorn Authenticator:app --reload

• python -m uvicorn: Runs the Uvicorn ASGI server.
• Authenticator:app: Specifies the module (Authenticator) and the FastAPI application instance (app) to serve.
• --reload: Enables auto-reloading for development purposes, so changes are applied without restarting the server manually.

Retrieving API Responses

To interact with the API and retrieve responses, execute:

python Finance_API.py

Finance_API.py script, which typically contains the logic for making requests to the API and processing the responses.

POST

Token Generation

http://localhost:port/token

Body

x-www-form-urlencoded

username    anamol
password    mysecretpassword

Illustrates the systematic utilization of the POST method to generate a JWT (JSON Web Token), elucidating its pivotal role in facilitating secure authentication processes when interfacing with an API endpoint.
