How do I set up an asynchronous Flask RESTful API?

To set up an asynchronous Flask RESTful API, you can use Flask with an async framework like Quart or Flask 2.0+.

What are the benefits of using async in Flask?

Using async allows your API to handle multiple requests concurrently, improving performance and responsiveness.

Can you show me a simple code example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from flask import Flask
from flask_restful import Api, Resource

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

class HelloWorld(Resource):
    async def get(self):
        return {'hello': 'world'}

api.add_resource(HelloWorld, '/')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

What libraries do I need to install?

You need to install Flask and Flask-RESTful. You can do this using pip:

pip install Flask Flask-RESTful
