Handling errors or exceptions in a FastAPI application, especially when integrating with advanced AI models like DeepSeek R1, involves several strategies to ensure robustness and user-friendly error responses. Here's a detailed guide on how to manage exceptions effectively:
1. Understanding FastAPI's Built-in Error Handling**
FastAPI provides built-in support for handling common HTTP errors. For instance, if a required query parameter is missing, FastAPI automatically returns a 422 Unprocessable Entity response with detailed error information[4]. However, for more complex scenarios or custom error handling, you need to implement additional strategies.
2. Using `HTTPException`**
`HTTPException` is a powerful tool in FastAPI for handling client-side errors, such as invalid data or authentication issues. You can raise `HTTPException` with a specific status code and detail message to communicate errors to clients effectively[7].
```python
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
app = FastAPI()
@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
async def read_item(item_id: str):
if item_id not in items:
