How do I render Quarto programmatically from FastAPI app

[buremba]

Description

Hi all!

I develop the Quarto documents on VSCode and we have a Python FastAPI app that I would like to serve my Quarto document as part of our FastAPI-based app, which have widgets and dynamic querying logic to query backend database.

Ideally it can use the same Python (sub)process as kernel. I found jupyverse for Jupyter apps but I would love to use Quarto.

Quarto does not use any running server/kernel (except when using shiny for R/Python).

Jupyter Kernel is used only to compute code cells for Quarto to integrate produced content in the defined formats. If your code requires a running server, Jupyter kernel, then it won't work.

If you want to embed your app in a static Quarto website/document, you have to use regular web approaches (i.e., embed, iframe, etc.)

There are many threads about embedding external content such as:
