How to call a FastAPI route from NodeJS?

Question

this is my FasiAPI route:

@app.post("/files/")
async def create_file(file: UploadFile = Form(...)):
    #some ml code
    return {'detected_face': base64_return, 'feature_vector': str(embedded)}

My webapp backend is running on NodeJs + ExpressJS. I have the file store in './uploads/filename.jpeg'

FastAPI is running on: localhost:8000

Web backend server running on: localhost:3000

Thanks in advance!

You can send request directly through url: localhost:8000/ by using request module.

request('http://localhost:8000/files/<parameter>', function (error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
        console.log(body)
    }
})
