# RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'get_data' was never awaited

- **ID:** `python/fastapi-await-missing`
- **Domain:** python
- **Category:** runtime_error
- **Verification:** ai_generated
- **Fix Rate:** 80%

## Root Cause

An async function was called without await inside an async route, so the coroutine object was returned instead of data.

## Version Compatibility

| Version | Status | Introduced | Deprecated |
|---------|--------|------------|------------|
| 3.x | active | — | — |

## Workarounds

1. **** (95% success)
   ```
   data = await get_data()
   ```
2. **** (85% success)
   ```
   Make route sync def and call sync version of helper
   ```

## Dead Ends

- **** — Cannot run event loop inside a running loop; raises RuntimeError. (85% fail)
- **** — Silences signal but response body is still a coroutine. (80% fail)
