Is it possible to have an API endpoint call another endpoint within the same application? [duplicate]

Question

I have a python application running on my localhost:3978. Is it possible to make an api call to http://localhost:3978/api/users from http://localhost:3978/api/accounts?

@routes.get("/api/accounts")
async def accounts(request):    
    api_url = "http://127.0.0.1:3978/api/users"    
    response = requests.get(api_url)
    return json_response(data=respone.json())

@routes.get("/api/users")
async def users(request):
    pass

You can explicitly redirect to any other api using`` return redirect(url_for(func_name) ) `` else separate the controller logic from route and just call the controller function for that route. — ShivaGaire

In aiohttp, I know that aiohttp.web.HTTPFound('\someendpoint') redirects to the given endpoint and completes the execution, but I want it to come to the calling function. — user16528894

You can use url_path_for() to feed in RedirectResponse of starlette.responses as stated here. For example:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from starlette.responses import RedirectResponse

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/a")
async def a():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

@app.get('/b')
async def b():
    url = app.url_path_for("a")
    response = RedirectResponse(url=url)
    return response
