How can I implement asynchronous requests in a Flask RESTful API?

How can I implement asynchronous requests in a Flask RESTful API?

You can use the async and await keywords in your Flask routes. Make sure to use an async-compatible server like uvicorn.

What libraries do I need to use for this?

You will need Flask, Flask-RESTful, and an async server like uvicorn or hypercorn.

Can you provide a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from flask import Flask
from flask_restful import Resource, Api
import asyncio

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

class AsyncResource(Resource):
    async def get(self):
        await asyncio.sleep(1)  # Simulate a delay
        return {'message': 'Hello, async world!'}

api.add_resource(AsyncResource, '/async')

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

How do I run this with uvicorn?

You can run it using the command: uvicorn your_module_name:app --reload.
