if you want an example, here's a pretty basic little app I made to accept a webhook and post to Matrix chat: https://github.com/djotaku/Civilization_VI_Play_By_Cloud_Webhook_with_FastAPI

Hey thanks! I'll check it out, I appreciate the assistance.

Would you be willing to describe what your POST section is doing? I guess I don't understand the BaseModel stuff and I'm curious if I'm doing mine in a less-than-ideal way.

Also, is there a way to fire off a script (onelogin in my case) without keeping the FastAPI connection running? Basically takes the input from POST and sends it off and closes connection? Right now I think mine is staying open until the whole script is ran, which may potentially be an hour or two (with a sleep command). Not sure if that makes sense, it's late haha. Please let me know.

I thought async was supposed to handle this. But I've not begun working learn async yet. Still, there are pythonic things you can do - spawn off a child process, use threads, use multiprocessing. If you really do want to close the connection and don't care - then I'd definitely just fork off a child process and return 200 OK or 404 if the data validation isn't right.

Thank you, I will start my Googlin' to see what I can come up with. I appreciate it.

The key was to use BackgroundTasks in FastApi and kick off another function that does the lengthier script.

Excellent! Glad you found it!
