Create production-ready FastAPI applications in seconds
From simple APIs to LLM-enabled applications, all without build configuration.
Get a fully functional FastAPI app running in 30 seconds:
# Recommended: using uvx (no installation needed)
uvx fastapi-gen my_app
cd my_app && make startOr install with uv:
uv tool install fastapi-gen
fastapi-gen my_app
cd my_app && make startOr use pip:
pip install fastapi-gen
fastapi-gen my_app
cd my_app && make startThat's it! Open http://localhost:8000/docs to see your OpenAPI documentation.

Zero Configuration • Production Patterns • Complete Testing • Code Quality • Auto Documentation • Deployment Ready
Focus on Your Code, Not Setup
All dependencies (FastAPI, Pydantic, Pytest, etc.) are preconfigured. Just create and run:
fastapi-gen my_app # Create
cd my_app # Enter
make start # Run!Every Template Includes:
- Ready-to-run development environment
- Industry-standard project structure
- Comprehensive test suites with examples
- Ruff linting and formatting
- Auto-generated OpenAPI documentation
- Makefile with common development commands
You'll need to have Python 3.11+ or later version on your local development machine. We recommend using the latest version. You can use uv for Python version management and project workflows.
# Default (hello_world)
uvx fastapi-gen my_app
# Or specify a template
uvx fastapi-gen my_app --template <template-name>Available templates: hello_world, advanced, nlp, langchain, llama
Inside the newly created project, you can run:
Runs the app in development mode.
Open http://localhost:8000/docs to view OpenAPI documentation in the browser.
The page will automatically reload if you make changes to the code.
Runs tests.
By default, runs tests related to files changed since the last commit.
