fastapi-rest-api

fastapi-rest-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vikasudasi/skill-vault. It costs 28 tokens per session (412 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to building REST APIs with FastAPI, a Python web framework for serving data and actions over HTTP. It covers request validation, API documentation, dependencies, errors, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create routes, define input and output data, connect shared resources such as databases or authentication, document the API, and test HTTP requests.
Why use it?
It helps keep API endpoints organized and predictable while avoiding repeated validation, tangled setup code, and unclear error responses.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fastapi-rest-api scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/minimal_api.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Building a FastAPI REST API

Use when exposing an HTTP API: resources, validation, OpenAPI docs, and clean error responses.

Structure

app/
  main.py        # FastAPI() + include_router
  routers/
    skills.py    # APIRouter
  schemas.py     # Pydantic request/response models
from fastapi import APIRouter

router = APIRouter(prefix="/skills", tags=["skills"])


@router.get("/{skill_id}")
def get_skill(skill_id: str) -> dict: ...

Dependency injection

Resolve auth/db via Depends so handlers stay thin and testable:

def get_db():
    yield conn


@router.get("/{id}")
def read(db=Depends(get_db)): ...

Error handling

Raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail="..."), or map domain exceptions to status codes in a small handler so handlers never leak internals.

Testing

from fastapi.testclient import TestClient


def test_create():
    client = TestClient(app)
    r = client.post("/skills", json={...})
    assert r.status_code == 201

Pitfalls

  • Declare response models to get typed OpenAPI and docs.
  • Use Depends for shared setup instead of globals — it enables override in tests.
  • Don't put business logic in routers; keep them as thin transport layer.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
