How to invoke a function that works asynchronously in your code?

In Python, to call an asynchronous function, the await keyword is used inside an asynchronous function, or it can be run through an event loop.

Example of an asynchronous function and its call:

import asyncio

async def async_function():
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    return "Done"

async def main():
    result = await async_function()
    print(result)

# Run
asyncio.run(main())

If you need to call an asynchronous function from synchronous code, you can use asyncio.run() or create an event loop manually:

result = asyncio.run(async_function())
print(result)

Thus, asynchronous functions are called using await inside other asynchronous functions or by running an event loop.
