Request Logging API

This is a simple API built with FastAPI that logs the details of every incoming HTTP request. It is designed to be deployed as a serverless container on Google Cloud Run.

Features

  • Catch-all Endpoint: Captures all requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) to any URL path.
  • Structured Logging: Logs the following information for each request in JSON format to standard output:
    • URL
    • HTTP Method
    • Source IP Address (X-Forwarded-For header or remote address)
    • Request Payload (Body)
    • Request Headers
  • Containerized: Includes a Dockerfile for easy building and deployment.
  • Fast Dependencies: Uses uv for fast Python package management.

How it Works

The application uses a FastAPI middleware to intercept every request before it hits the endpoint. The middleware extracts the relevant information, formats it into a JSON object, and prints it to the console. Cloud Run automatically collects these logs, allowing you to view them in the Google Cloud Logging interface.

The main endpoint simply returns a 200 OK response with the message "Request logged".
