[QUESTION] trailing slash in parameter vs non

First check

• I used the GitHub search to find a similar issue and didn’t find it.
• I searched the FastAPI documentation, with the integrated search.
• I already searched in Google “How to X in FastAPI” and didn’t find any information.

Description

Is there a way to have FastAPI treat a parameter the same if it does or does not have a trailing / ?

Additional context

I want to replicate this in a more concise manner and/or configure FastAPI so I don’t have to do this for each path similarly

@app.post("/extract")
@app.post("/extract/")
async def create_extraction(...):

EDIT: simplified example code

[jmriebold]

What version of fastapi are you using? As of 0.50.0 the trailing slash should be automatically stripped now that fastapi’s using the latest version of starlette.

Also for what it’s worth, even without that feature you could always do something like this:

@app.post("/extract/?")
async def create_extraction(...):

since routes can take regexes.

[falkben]

In general, redirects should occur automatically to the endpoint w/ or w/o the trailing slash (depending on which one you have configured.

If it’s absolutely needed to have both routes, you can specify certain routes to not be included in the docs with include_in_schema=False

This gets asked frequently. See this issue for some additional solutions: https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/issues/2060
