My article is for everyone! Non-members can click on this link and jump straight into the full text!!

Hey there fellow Python enthusiasts! Today, I’m super excited to dive into Scheduling. FastAPI is a powerful web framework for building Python APIs, and integrating background job scheduling can enhance its functionality. In this article, we’ll explore how to enable background job scheduling in a FastAPI application using APScheduler.

What makes scheduling necessary?

Task scheduling is crucial for optimizing resource utilization, managing workloads effectively, and automating routine tasks.

Enough of theory let’s drive into real implementation (चलिए शुरू करते है।)

1. Getting Started

• Before we dive into the code, let’s ensure we have the necessary tools installed. You’ll need Python along with FastAPI and APScheduler libraries. Installing them is as easy as using pip:

pip install fastapi
pip install uvicorn
pip install fastapi apscheduler

2. Dependency

• We start by importing the required modules and creating an instance of FastAPI:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from…
