Monarch-Py FastAPI

A FastAPI is also available for browsing the knowledge graph produced by the Monarch Initiative, which wraps the monarch-py library.

It is included automatically as part of monarch-py when installed via pip or pipx.

Running the API Server

A local development server can be started with the command:

monarch-api

or using uvicorn:

# Using uvicorn directly:
uv run uvicorn src.monarch_py.api.main:app --reload

# Using the Makefile shortcut:
cd <path-to>/monarch-app
make dev-api

The API is then available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/v3/api.

Swagger documentation is available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/v3/docs,
and a ReDoc interface at http://127.0.0.1:8000/v3/redoc.
