Fast API Invalid Path Operation

The path operation function is not correctly defined.

Understanding FastAPI

FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. It is designed to be easy to use and to provide high performance, on par with NodeJS and Go, thanks to its asynchronous capabilities. FastAPI is particularly useful for building RESTful APIs quickly and efficiently.

Identifying the Symptom: Invalid Path Operation

When working with FastAPI, you might encounter an issue where your API endpoint does not respond as expected, or you receive an error indicating an "Invalid Path Operation." This typically manifests when the server fails to recognize or properly handle a request to a defined endpoint.

Exploring the Issue: What Causes Invalid Path Operation?

The "Invalid Path Operation" error usually occurs when the path operation function is not correctly defined. This can happen if the function is not properly decorated with the appropriate HTTP method decorator (e.g., @app.get(), @app.post()), or if the function signature does not match the expected parameters or return type.

Common Mistakes

  • Missing or incorrect HTTP method decorator.
  • Mismatch between the function parameters and the path parameters.
  • Incorrect return type or missing response model.

Steps to Fix the Invalid Path Operation

To resolve the "Invalid Path Operation" issue, follow these steps:

1. Verify the HTTP Method Decorator

Ensure that your path operation function is decorated with the correct HTTP method. For example, if you intend to handle GET requests, your function should be decorated with @app.get("/your-path").

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def read_item(item_id: int):
return {"item_id": item_id}

2. Check the Function Signature

Ensure that the function parameters match the path parameters. If your path includes a parameter, your function should accept it as an argument.

3. Validate the Return Type

Ensure that your function returns a valid response. If you have specified a response model, make sure the returned data matches the model.

from pydantic import BaseModel

class Item(BaseModel):
name: str
price: float

@app.get("/items/{item_id}", response_model=Item)
def read_item(item_id: int):
return Item(name="Sample Item", price=10.0)
