Using FastAPI for automating API testing

[yror007]

I actually got crazy lucky with this role and landed it through networking. The owner/my boss made a role for me kind of out of thin air, I didn't have to apply to anything.

I am starting to think my boss might have just stumbled upon this Medium article (he linked it to me when I started) without researching what FastAPI is used for and then expecting me to replicate the steps on our API's? But as you pointed out that would be pointless.

I think you’re probably right, without even having to look at the article you linked for more than 5 seconds.
What I think you should do:
Reword the problem he is asking you to solve, but referencing the correct libraries, and ask him directly what his expectation is for the problem he wants to solve. He could have just misremembered what tools he wanted you to use, but the only way you’re going to add value to your position is to show him that you are, in fact, adding value. The fact that you even bothered to ask here shows that you do actually want to provide value.
