+# SmoothAPI FastAPI Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to integrate **SmoothAPI** into a FastAPI application to make outbound API requests more resilient using retries, circuit breakers, and fallback responses.
+
+## Features
+
+- Automatic retries for transient failures
+- Circuit breaker protection
+- Graceful fallback responses
+- Async FastAPI integration using `httpx`
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10+
+- Node.js (for the sandbox server)
+
+---
+
+## Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+---
+
+## Start the Sandbox Server
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```bash
+cd sandbox
+npm install
+node server.js
+```
+
+The sandbox will start on:
+
+```
+http://localhost:3001
+```
+
+---
+
+## Run the FastAPI Example
+
+From the `examples/fastapi` directory:
+
+```bash
+uvicorn main:app --reload
+```
+
+The API will be available at:
+
+```
+http://127.0.0.1:8000
+```
+
+Interactive API documentation:
+
+```
+http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs
+```
+
+---
+
+## Available Endpoints
+
+### `GET /`
+
+Returns basic information about the example application.
+
+---
+
+### `GET /retry-demo`
+
+Demonstrates SmoothAPI's retry mechanism by calling the sandbox's unstable endpoint.
+
+Target endpoint:
+
+```
+GET http://localhost:3001/unstable-data
+```
+
+SmoothAPI automatically retries transient failures before returning a successful response.
+
+---
+
+### `GET /circuit-demo`
+
+Demonstrates SmoothAPI's circuit breaker and fallback behavior.
+
+Target endpoint:
+
+```
+GET http://localhost:3001/always-fail
+```
+
+After repeated failures, the circuit breaker opens and returns the configured fallback response immediately without making another network request.
