About the data - technical details

The main intention of this page has been to highlight the effort of the community to help others, especially efforts that were normally less visible and, in many cases, more arduous, like helping others with questions and reviewing Pull Requests with translations.

It also highlights contributions from sponsors.

The data used to be calculated continuously, each month.

As of July 2026, most of the work has been done by (paid) team members for quite some time.

GitHub Discussions are answered mostly by team members.

Most of the code changes are done by team members.

And translations are continuously done for the entire documentation in multiple languages, using AI tools, managed by team members.

Additionally, in recent months, there's been an overwhelming amount of AI spam, mainly to cheat the FastAPI Experts system or to get a PR merged by any means and thereby be considered a contributor. You can read more about the point of view in Automated Code and AI.

Because of this, the data for the FastAPI Experts, Top Contributors, and Top Translation Reviewers is no longer continuously updated.

This section is currently kept as a tribute to the humans that helped shape what FastAPI is today. 🙌
