FastAPI - File Handling

Identify the error in this FastAPI endpoint for file download:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.responses import FileResponse

app = FastAPI()

@app.get('/getfile')
def get_file():
    return FileResponse(path='myfile.txt', media_type='text/plain', filename=myfile.txt)

AFileResponse must be awaited since endpoint is async

BFilename argument is not a string (missing quotes)

CPath argument should be a URL, not a file path

DMissing import for FileResponse

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check filename argument syntax
The filename argument is written as filename=myfile.txt without quotes, so Python treats it as a variable, causing a NameError.
Step 2: Verify other parts
The endpoint is synchronous which is allowed. Path can be a file path. FileResponse is imported correctly. So only filename syntax is wrong.
Final Answer:
Filename argument is not a string (missing quotes) -> Option B
Quick Check:
Filename must be a string literal [OK]

Quick Trick: Always quote filename strings in FileResponse [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Forgetting quotes around filename string
Assuming async needed for FileResponse
Confusing file path with URL
