FASTAPI Backend for Social Media Application

This repository contains the backend implementation for a social media application built with FastAPI. The project aims to provide a scalable, high-performance, and easy-to-use API for social networking features such as user management, posts, comments, and more.

Features

• User Authentication & Authorization: Secure registration, login, and JWT-based authentication.
• User Profiles: Create, update, and fetch user profiles.
• Posts & Comments: CRUD operations for posts and comments.
• Social Features: Like, follow, and friend management.
• RESTful API: Well-structured endpoints following REST conventions.
• Async Support: Utilizes FastAPI's async capabilities for improved performance.
• Database Integration: Easily connect to popular databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQLite).
• Extensible & Modular: Clean code structure for easy feature addition.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• poetry or pip for dependency management
