Development Quickstart

2. Open in VS Code and use the devcontainer, or set up a local Conda environment (see Development guide).
3. Run the API:

   fastapi run app/main.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

4. Visit /ping to check the server.

Note

The /api/v1/ endpoint is handled by the reverse proxy, so use http://localhost:8000/ping for local API requests.
