A Visual Studio Code extension for FastAPI application development. Available on the Visual Studio Marketplace.
This extension enhances the FastAPI development experience in Visual Studio Code by providing:
The Endpoint Explorer provides a hierarchical tree view of all FastAPI routes in your application. You can expand routers to see their associated endpoints, and click on any route to jump directly to its definition in the code. You can also jump to router definitions by right-clicking on a router node.
Using ctrl+shift+E (cmd+shift+E on Mac), you can open the Command Palette and quickly search for routes by path, method, or name.
CodeLens links appear above HTTP client calls like client.get('/items'), letting you jump directly to the matching route definition.
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
fastapi.entryPoint |
Path to the main FastAPI application file (e.g., src/main.py). If not set, the extension searches common locations: main.py, app/main.py, api/main.py, src/main.py, backend/app/main.py. |
"" (auto-detect) |
fastapi.codeLens.enabled |
Show CodeLens links above test client calls (e.g., client.get('/items')) to navigate to the corresponding route definition. |
true |
fastapi.cloud.enabled |
Enable FastAPI Cloud integration (status bar, deploy commands). | true |
fastapi.telemetry.enabled |
Send anonymous usage data to help improve the extension. See TELEMETRY.md for details on what is collected. | true |
Note: Currently the extension discovers one FastAPI app per workspace folder. If you have multiple apps, use separate workspace folders or configure fastapi.entryPoint to point to your primary app.
The FastAPI extension collects anonymous usage data and sends it to FastAPI to help improve the extension. You can disable telemetry by setting fastapi.telemetry.enabled to false. Read our TELEMETRY.md for details on what we collect and what we don't.
