+# FastAPI CRUD App
+
+**Contributor:** AksharGoyal
+
+## Overview
+Simple, starter FastAPI application demonstrating CRUD operations backed by SQLAlchemy ORM. Includes a minimal API for creating, listing, updating and deleting "items".
+
+## Tech stack
+- Python 3.12+
+- FastAPI
+- SQLAlchemy
+- Uvicorn (ASGI server)
+- "uv" as the local environment manager (see pyproject.toml)
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Linux 
+- Python 3.12+ 
+- The `uv` tool is used in these instructions as the environment manager 
+
+## Quickstart 
+1. Create and activate the virtual environment
+```sh
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh # Install uv
+uv venv --python=3.12 # creates .venv by default
+source .venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+2. Install dependencies
+```sh
+uv pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+3. Run the server
+```sh
+uv run uvicorn app.main:app --reload
+```
+
+## API endpoints
+- GET /items/        — List items
+- POST /items/       — Create item
+- GET /items/{id}    — Retrieve single item
+- PUT /items/{id}    — Update item
+- DELETE /items/{id} — Delete item
+
+## Examples 
+List items:
+```sh
+curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/
+# returns: []
+```
+
+Create an item:
+```sh
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/ \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"title":"A Nice Hoodie","description":"A nice hoodie to wear with style.","price":39.99}'
+```
+
+Update item with id 1:
+```sh
+curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/1 \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"title":"A Cool Hoodie","description":"A nice hoodie to wear with style.","price":49.99}'
+```
+
+Delete item with id 1:
+```sh
+curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8000/items/1
+```
