How to Properly Post JSON Output in FastAPI Backend

If you're developing a backend application with FastAPI and need to send a response in JSON format, you may have stumbled upon some challenges. One common problem arises when trying to translate text inputs and return them correctly in JSON format. In this guide, we will guide you through how to effectively post JSON output in FastAPI, ensuring that your application functions seamlessly in returning translated text.

Understanding the Problem

The main goal of our FastAPI application is to accept text input from a user, translate that text into a different language, and return both the translated text and its pronunciation in JSON format. However, if not structured properly, the data returned can lead to issues where the output is not displayed as expected.

In the initial attempt, the user faced difficulties with their implementation. The objective is not merely to retrieve input but also to format the response accurately as JSON.

Step-by-Step Solution

To fix the problem and successfully post JSON output in your FastAPI backend, follow these detailed steps:

1. Set Up the FastAPI Application

Begin by initializing your FastAPI application. Here's the base code to get started:

Important: Remember to use await request.form() to retrieve the form data correctly.

3. Return JSON Response

Next, make sure to return the response as JSON. This step is critical to ensure that the output is properly formatted. Using JSONResponse will help achieve that. In the code example above, the JSON response encapsulates the translated text and its pronunciation, ensuring everything is neatly packaged.

4. Run Your Application

Finally, run the FastAPI application using Uvicorn as shown below:
