                """
)

TYPE: str DEFAULT: ''

The order of the tags can be used to specify the order shown in tools like Swagger UI, used in the automatic path /docs.

It's not required to specify all the tags used.

The tags that are not declared MAY be organized randomly or based on the tools' logic. Each tag name in the list MUST be unique.

The value of each item is a dict containing:

  • name: The name of the tag.
  • description: A short description of the tag. CommonMark syntax MAY be used for rich text representation.
  • externalDocs: Additional external documentation for this tag. If provided, it would contain a dict with:
    • description: A short description of the target documentation. CommonMark syntax MAY be used for rich text representation.
    • url: The URL for the target documentation. Value MUST be in the form of a URL.

Read more in the FastAPI docs for Metadata and Docs URLs.

Example

from fastapi import FastAPI

tags_metadata = [
    {

    },
]

app = FastAPI(openapi_tags=tags_metadata)

TYPE: Optional[List[Dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None

servers

A list of dicts with connectivity information to a target server.

You would use it, for example, if your application is served from different domains and you want to use the same Swagger UI in the browser to interact with each of them (instead of having multiple browser tabs open). Or if you want to leave fixed the possible URLs.

If the servers list is not provided, or is an empty list, the default value would be a dict with a url value of /.

Each item in the list is a dict containing:

  • url: A URL to the target host. This URL supports Server Variables and MAY be relative, to indicate that the host location is relative to the location where the OpenAPI document is being served. Variable substitutions will be made when a variable is named in {brackets}.
  • description: An optional string describing the host designated by the URL. CommonMark syntax MAY be used for rich text representation.
  • variables: A dict between a variable name and its value. The value is used for substitution in the server's URL template.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Webhooks.

TYPE: Optional[APIRouter] DEFAULT: None

deprecated

Mark all path operations as deprecated. You probably don't need it, but it's available.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None

include_in_schema

To include (or not) all the path operations in the generated OpenAPI. You probably don't need it, but it's available.

This affects the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Query Parameters and String Validations.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Configure Swagger UI.

TYPE: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None

generate_unique_id_function

Customize the function used to generate unique IDs for the path operations shown in the generated OpenAPI.

This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients or SDKs for your API.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Callable[[APIRoute], str] DEFAULT: Default(generate_unique_id)

separate_input_output_schemas

Whether to generate separate OpenAPI schemas for request body and response body when the results would be more precise.

This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients.

For example, if you have a model like:

from pydantic import BaseModel

class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str
    tags: list[str] = []

When Item is used for input, a request body, tags is not required, the client doesn't have to provide it.

But when using Item for output, for a response body, tags is always available because it has a default value, even if it's just an empty list. So, the client should be able to always expect it.

In this case, there would be two different schemas, one for input and another one for output.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

**extra

Extra keyword arguments to be stored in the app, not used by FastAPI anywhere.

TYPE: Any DEFAULT: {}

openapi_version instance-attribute 

openapi_version = '3.1.0'

The version string of OpenAPI.

FastAPI will generate OpenAPI version 3.1.0, and will output that as the OpenAPI version. But some tools, even though they might be compatible with OpenAPI 3.1.0, might not recognize it as a valid.

So you could override this value to trick those tools into using the generated OpenAPI. Have in mind that this is a hack. But if you avoid using features added in OpenAPI 3.1.0, it might work for your use case.

This is not passed as a parameter to the FastAPI class to avoid giving the false idea that FastAPI would generate a different OpenAPI schema. It is only available as an attribute.

Example

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

app.openapi_version = "3.0.2"

webhooks instance-attribute 

webhooks = webhooks or APIRouter()

The app.webhooks attribute is an APIRouter with the path operations that will be used just for documentation of webhooks.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Webhooks.

state instance-attribute 

state = State()

A state object for the application. This is the same object for the entire application, it doesn't change from request to request.

You normally woudln't use this in FastAPI, for most of the cases you would instead use FastAPI dependencies.

This is simply inherited from Starlette.

Read more about it in the Starlette docs for Applications.

dependency_overrides instance-attribute 

dependency_overrides = {}

A dictionary with overrides for the dependencies.

Each key is the original dependency callable, and the value is the actual dependency that should be called.

This is for testing, to replace expensive dependencies with testing versions.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Testing Dependencies with Overrides.

openapi 

openapi()

Generate the OpenAPI schema of the application. This is called by FastAPI internally.

The first time it is called it stores the result in the attribute app.openapi_schema, and next times it is called, it just returns that same result. To avoid the cost of generating the schema every time.

If you need to modify the generated OpenAPI schema, you could modify it.

Add a path operation using an HTTP GET operation.

Example
from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/items/")
def read_items():
    return [{"name": "Empanada"}, {"name": "Arepa"}]
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
path

The URL path to be used for this path operation.

For example, in http://example.com/items, the path is /items.

TYPE: str

response_model

The type to use for the response.

It could be any valid Pydantic field type. So, it doesn't have to be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a list, dict, etc.

It will be used for:

  • Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at /docs) will show it as the response (JSON Schema).
  • Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the response_model would be used to serialize that object into the corresponding JSON.
  • Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data (fields) defined in the response_model. If you returned an object that contains an attribute password but the response_model does not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have that password.
  • Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the response_model, converting any data as necessary to generate the corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client, so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model.

TYPE: Any DEFAULT: Default(None)

status_code

The default status code to be used for the response.

You could override the status code by returning a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Status Code.

TYPE: Optional[int] DEFAULT: None

tags

A list of tags to be applied to the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[List[Union[str, Enum]]] DEFAULT: None

dependencies

A list of dependencies (using Depends()) to be applied to the path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Dependencies in path operation decorators.

TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Depends]] DEFAULT: None

summary

A summary for the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

description

A description for the path operation.

If not provided, it will be extracted automatically from the docstring of the path operation function.

It can contain Markdown.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_description

The description for the default response.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: str DEFAULT: 'Successful Response'

responses

Additional responses that could be returned by this path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[Dict[Union[int, str], Dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None

deprecated

Mark this path operation as deprecated.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None

operation_id

Custom operation ID to be used by this path operation.

By default, it is generated automatically.

If you provide a custom operation ID, you need to make sure it is unique for the whole API.

You can customize the operation ID generation with the parameter generate_unique_id_function in the FastAPI class.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_model_include

Configuration passed to Pydantic to include only certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_exclude

Configuration passed to Pydantic to exclude certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_by_alias

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response model should be serialized by alias when an alias is used.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_model_exclude_unset

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that were not set and have their default values. This is different from response_model_exclude_defaults in that if the fields are set, they will be included in the response, even if the value is the same as the default.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_defaults

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that have the same value as the default. This is different from response_model_exclude_unset in that if the fields are set but contain the same default values, they will be excluded from the response.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_none

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should exclude fields set to None.

This is much simpler (less smart) than response_model_exclude_unset and response_model_exclude_defaults. You probably want to use one of those two instead of this one, as those allow returning None values when it makes sense.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

include_in_schema

Include this path operation in the generated OpenAPI schema.

This affects the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Query Parameters and String Validations.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_class

Response class to be used for this path operation.

This will not be used if you return a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Custom Response - HTML, Stream, File, others.

TYPE: Type[Response] DEFAULT: Default(JSONResponse)

name

Name for this path operation. Only used internally.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

callbacks

List of path operations that will be used as OpenAPI callbacks.

This is only for OpenAPI documentation, the callbacks won't be used directly.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Callbacks.

TYPE: Optional[List[BaseRoute]] DEFAULT: None

openapi_extra

Extra metadata to be included in the OpenAPI schema for this path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Advanced Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None

generate_unique_id_function

Customize the function used to generate unique IDs for the path operations shown in the generated OpenAPI.

This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients or SDKs for your API.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Callable[[APIRoute], str] DEFAULT: Default(generate_unique_id)

Example
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str
    description: str | None = None

app = FastAPI()

@app.put("/items/{item_id}")
def replace_item(item_id: str, item: Item):
    return {"message": "Item replaced", "id": item_id}
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
path

The URL path to be used for this path operation.

For example, in http://example.com/items, the path is /items.

TYPE: str

response_model

The type to use for the response.

It could be any valid Pydantic field type. So, it doesn't have to be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a list, dict, etc.

It will be used for:

  • Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at /docs) will show it as the response (JSON Schema).
  • Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the response_model would be used to serialize that object into the corresponding JSON.
  • Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data (fields) defined in the response_model. If you returned an object that contains an attribute password but the response_model does not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have that password.
  • Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the response_model, converting any data as necessary to generate the corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client, so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model.

TYPE: Any DEFAULT: Default(None)

status_code

The default status code to be used for the response.

You could override the status code by returning a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Status Code.

TYPE: Optional[int] DEFAULT: None

tags

A list of tags to be applied to the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[List[Union[str, Enum]]] DEFAULT: None

dependencies

A list of dependencies (using Depends()) to be applied to the path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Dependencies in path operation decorators.

TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Depends]] DEFAULT: None

summary

A summary for the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

description

A description for the path operation.

If not provided, it will be extracted automatically from the docstring of the path operation function.

It can contain Markdown.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_description

The description for the default response.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: str DEFAULT: 'Successful Response'

responses

Additional responses that could be returned by this path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[Dict[Union[int, str], Dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None

deprecated

Mark this path operation as deprecated.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None

operation_id

Custom operation ID to be used by this path operation.

By default, it is generated automatically.

If you provide a custom operation ID, you need to make sure it is unique for the whole API.

You can customize the operation ID generation with the parameter generate_unique_id_function in the FastAPI class.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_model_include

Configuration passed to Pydantic to include only certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_exclude

Configuration passed to Pydantic to exclude certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_by_alias

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response model should be serialized by alias when an alias is used.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_model_exclude_unset

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that were not set and have their default values. This is different from response_model_exclude_defaults in that if the fields are set, they will be included in the response, even if the value is the same as the default.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

This is different from response_model_exclude_unset in that if the fields are set but contain the same default values, they will be excluded from the response.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_none

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should exclude fields set to None.

This is much simpler (less smart) than response_model_exclude_unset and response_model_exclude_defaults. You probably want to use one of those two instead of this one, as those allow returning None values when it makes sense.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

include_in_schema

Include this path operation in the generated OpenAPI schema.

This affects the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Query Parameters and String Validations.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_class

Response class to be used for this path operation.

This will not be used if you return a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Custom Response - HTML, Stream, File, others.

TYPE: Type[Response] DEFAULT: Default(JSONResponse)

name

Name for this path operation. Only used internally.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

callbacks

List of path operations that will be used as OpenAPI callbacks.

This is only for OpenAPI documentation, the callbacks won't be used directly.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Callbacks.

TYPE: Optional[List[BaseRoute]] DEFAULT: None

openapi_extra

Extra metadata to be included in the OpenAPI schema for this path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Advanced Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None

generate_unique_id_function

Customize the function used to generate unique IDs for the path operations shown in the generated OpenAPI.

This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients or SDKs for your API.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Callable[[APIRoute], str] DEFAULT: Default(generate_unique_id)

            It could be any valid Pydantic *field* type. So, it doesn't have to
            be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a `list`, `dict`,
            etc.

            It will be used for:

            * Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at `/docs`) will
                show it as the response (JSON Schema).
            * Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the
                `response_model` would be used to serialize that object into the
                corresponding JSON.
            * Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data
                (fields) defined in the `response_model`. If you returned an object
                that contains an attribute `password` but the `response_model` does
                not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have
                that `password`.
            * Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the
                `response_model`, converting any data as necessary to generate the
                corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not
                valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client,
                so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an
                error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

For example, in http://example.com/items, the path is /items.

TYPE: str

response_model

The type to use for the response.

It could be any valid Pydantic field type. So, it doesn't have to be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a list, dict, etc.

It will be used for:

  • Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at /docs) will show it as the response (JSON Schema).
  • Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the response_model would be used to serialize that object into the corresponding JSON.
  • Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data (fields) defined in the response_model. If you returned an object that contains an attribute password but the response_model does not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have that password.
  • Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the response_model, converting any data as necessary to generate the corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client, so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model.

TYPE: Any DEFAULT: Default(None)

status_code

The default status code to be used for the response.

You could override the status code by returning a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Status Code.

TYPE: Optional[int] DEFAULT: None

tags

A list of tags to be applied to the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[List[Union[str, Enum]]] DEFAULT: None

dependencies

A list of dependencies (using Depends()) to be applied to the path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Dependencies in path operation decorators.

TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Depends]] DEFAULT: None

summary

A summary for the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

description

A description for the path operation.

If not provided, it will be extracted automatically from the docstring of the path operation function.

It can contain Markdown.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_description

The description for the default response.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: str DEFAULT: 'Successful Response'

responses

Additional responses that could be returned by this path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[Dict[Union[int, str], Dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None

deprecated

Mark this path operation as deprecated.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None

operation_id

Custom operation ID to be used by this path operation.

By default, it is generated automatically.

If you provide a custom operation ID, you need to make sure it is unique for the whole API.

You can customize the operation ID generation with the parameter generate_unique_id_function in the FastAPI class.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_model_include

Configuration passed to Pydantic to include only certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_exclude

Configuration passed to Pydantic to exclude certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_by_alias

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response model should be serialized by alias when an alias is used.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_model_exclude_unset

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that were not set and have their default values. This is different from response_model_exclude_defaults in that if the fields are set, they will be included in the response, even if the value is the same as the default.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_defaults

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that have the same value as the default. This is different from response_model_exclude_unset in that if the fields are set but contain the same default values, they will be excluded from the response.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_none

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should exclude fields set to None.

This is much simpler (less smart) than response_model_exclude_unset and response_model_exclude_defaults. You probably want to use one of those two instead of this one, as those allow returning None values when it makes sense.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

include_in_schema

Include this path operation in the generated OpenAPI schema.

This affects the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Query Parameters and String Validations.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_class

Response class to be used for this path operation.

This will not be used if you return a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Custom Response - HTML, Stream, File, others.

TYPE: Type[Response] DEFAULT: Default(JSONResponse)

name

Name for this path operation. Only used internally.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

callbacks

List of path operations that will be used as OpenAPI callbacks.

This is only for OpenAPI documentation, the callbacks won't be used directly.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Callbacks.

TYPE: Optional[List[BaseRoute]] DEFAULT: None

openapi_extra

Extra metadata to be included in the OpenAPI schema for this path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Advanced Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None

generate_unique_id_function

Customize the function used to generate unique IDs for the path operations shown in the generated OpenAPI.

This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients or SDKs for your API.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Callable[[APIRoute], str] DEFAULT: Default(generate_unique_id)

Example
from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.delete("/items/{item_id}")
def delete_item(item_id: str):
    return {"message": "Item deleted"}
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
path

The URL path to be used for this path operation.

For example, in http://example.com/items, the path is /items.

TYPE: str

response_model

The type to use for the response.

It could be any valid Pydantic field type. So, it doesn't have to be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a list, dict, etc.

It will be used for:

  • Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at /docs) will show it as the response (JSON Schema).
  • Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the response_model would be used to serialize that object into the corresponding JSON.
  • Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data (fields) defined in the response_model. If you returned an object that contains an attribute password but the response_model does not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have that password.
  • Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the response_model, converting any data as necessary to generate the corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client, so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model.

TYPE: Any DEFAULT: Default(None)

status_code

The default status code to be used for the response.

You could override the status code by returning a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Status Code.

TYPE: Optional[int] DEFAULT: None

tags

A list of tags to be applied to the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[List[Union[str, Enum]]] DEFAULT: None

dependencies

A list of dependencies (using Depends()) to be applied to the path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Dependencies in path operation decorators.

TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Depends]] DEFAULT: None

summary

A summary for the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

description

A description for the path operation.

If not provided, it will be extracted automatically from the docstring of the path operation function.

It can contain Markdown.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_description

The description for the default response.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: str DEFAULT: 'Successful Response'

responses

Additional responses that could be returned by this path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[Dict[Union[int, str], Dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None

deprecated

Mark this path operation as deprecated.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None

operation_id

Custom operation ID to be used by this path operation.

By default, it is generated automatically.

If you provide a custom operation ID, you need to make sure it is unique for the whole API.

You can customize the operation ID generation with the parameter generate_unique_id_function in the FastAPI class.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_model_include

Configuration passed to Pydantic to include only certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_exclude

Configuration passed to Pydantic to exclude certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_by_alias

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response model should be serialized by alias when an alias is used.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_model_exclude_unset

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that were not set and have their default values. This is different from response_model_exclude_defaults in that if the fields are set, they will be included in the response, even if the value is the same as the default.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_defaults

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that have the same value as the default. This is different from response_model_exclude_unset in that if the fields are set but contain the same default values, they will be excluded from the response.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_none

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should exclude fields set to None.

This is much simpler (less smart) than response_model_exclude_unset and response_model_exclude_defaults. You probably want to use one of those two instead of this one, as those allow returning None values when it makes sense.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

include_in_schema

Include this path operation in the generated OpenAPI schema.

This affects the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Query Parameters and String Validations.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_class

Response class to be used for this path operation.

This will not be used if you return a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Custom Response - HTML, Stream, File, others.

TYPE: Type[Response] DEFAULT: Default(JSONResponse)

name

Name for this path operation. Only used internally.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

callbacks

List of path operations that will be used as OpenAPI callbacks.

This is only for OpenAPI documentation, the callbacks won't be used directly.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Callbacks.

TYPE: Optional[List[BaseRoute]] DEFAULT: None

openapi_extra

Extra metadata to be included in the OpenAPI schema for this path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Advanced Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None

generate_unique_id_function

Customize the function used to generate unique IDs for the path operations shown in the generated OpenAPI.

This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients or SDKs for your API.

                not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have
                that `password`.
            * Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the
                `response_model`, converting any data as necessary to generate the
                corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not
                valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client,
                so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an
                error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

Example
from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.options("/items/")
def get_item_options():
    return {"additions": ["Aji", "Guacamole"]}
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
path

The URL path to be used for this path operation.

For example, in http://example.com/items, the path is /items.

TYPE: str

response_model

The type to use for the response.

It could be any valid Pydantic field type. So, it doesn't have to be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a list, dict, etc.

It will be used for:

  • Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at /docs) will show it as the response (JSON Schema).
  • Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the response_model would be used to serialize that object into the corresponding JSON.
  • Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data (fields) defined in the response_model. If you returned an object that contains an attribute password but the response_model does not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have that password.
  • Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the response_model, converting any data as necessary to generate the corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client, so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model.

TYPE: Any DEFAULT: Default(None)

status_code

The default status code to be used for the response.

You could override the status code by returning a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Status Code.

TYPE: Optional[int] DEFAULT: None

tags

A list of tags to be applied to the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[List[Union[str, Enum]]] DEFAULT: None

dependencies

A list of dependencies (using Depends()) to be applied to the path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Dependencies in path operation decorators.

TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Depends]] DEFAULT: None

summary

A summary for the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

description

A description for the path operation.

If not provided, it will be extracted automatically from the docstring of the path operation function.

It can contain Markdown.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_description

The description for the default response.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: str DEFAULT: 'Successful Response'

responses

Additional responses that could be returned by this path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[Dict[Union[int, str], Dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None

deprecated

Mark this path operation as deprecated.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None

operation_id

Custom operation ID to be used by this path operation.

By default, it is generated automatically.

If you provide a custom operation ID, you need to make sure it is unique for the whole API.

You can customize the operation ID generation with the parameter generate_unique_id_function in the FastAPI class.

            It could be any valid Pydantic *field* type. So, it doesn't have to
            be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a `list`, `dict`,
            etc.

            It will be used for:

            * Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at `/docs`) will
                show it as the response (JSON Schema).
            * Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the
                `response_model` would be used to serialize that object into the
                corresponding JSON.
            * Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data
                (fields) defined in the `response_model`. If you returned an object
                that contains an attribute `password` but the `response_model` does
                not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have
                that `password`.
            * Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the
                `response_model`, converting any data as necessary to generate the
                corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not
                valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client,
                so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an
                error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

Add a path operation using an HTTP HEAD operation.

Example
from fastapi import FastAPI, Response

app = FastAPI()

@app.head("/items/", status_code=204)
def get_items_headers(response: Response):
    response.headers["X-Cat-Dog"] = "Alone in the world"
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
path

The URL path to be used for this path operation.

For example, in http://example.com/items, the path is /items.

TYPE: str

response_model

The type to use for the response.

It could be any valid Pydantic field type. So, it doesn't have to be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a list, dict, etc.

It will be used for:

  • Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at /docs) will show it as the response (JSON Schema).
  • Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the response_model would be used to serialize that object into the corresponding JSON.
  • Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data (fields) defined in the response_model. If you returned an object that contains an attribute password but the response_model does not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have that password.
  • Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the response_model, converting any data as necessary to generate the corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client, so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model.

TYPE: Any DEFAULT: Default(None)

status_code

The default status code to be used for the response.

You could override the status code by returning a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Status Code.

TYPE: Optional[int] DEFAULT: None

tags

A list of tags to be applied to the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[List[Union[str, Enum]]] DEFAULT: None

dependencies

A list of dependencies (using Depends()) to be applied to the path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Dependencies in path operation decorators.

TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Depends]] DEFAULT: None

summary

A summary for the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

description

A description for the path operation.

If not provided, it will be extracted automatically from the docstring of the path operation function.

It can contain Markdown.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_description

The description for the default response.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: str DEFAULT: 'Successful Response'

responses

Additional responses that could be returned by this path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[Dict[Union[int, str], Dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None

deprecated

Mark this path operation as deprecated.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None

operation_id

Custom operation ID to be used by this path operation.

By default, it is generated automatically.

If you provide a custom operation ID, you need to make sure it is unique for the whole API.

You can customize the operation ID generation with the parameter generate_unique_id_function in the FastAPI class.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_model_include

Configuration passed to Pydantic to include only certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_exclude

Configuration passed to Pydantic to exclude certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_by_alias

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response model should be serialized by alias when an alias is used.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_model_exclude_unset

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that were not set and have their default values. This is different from response_model_exclude_defaults in that if the fields are set, they will be included in the response, even if the value is the same as the default.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_defaults

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that have the same value as the default. This is different from response_model_exclude_unset in that if the fields are set but contain the same default values, they will be excluded from the response.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_none

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should exclude fields set to None.

This is much simpler (less smart) than response_model_exclude_unset and response_model_exclude_defaults. You probably want to use one of those two instead of this one, as those allow returning None values when it makes sense.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

include_in_schema

Include this path operation in the generated OpenAPI schema.

This affects the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Query Parameters and String Validations.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_class

Response class to be used for this path operation.

This will not be used if you return a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Custom Response - HTML, Stream, File, others.

TYPE: Type[Response] DEFAULT: Default(JSONResponse)

name

Name for this path operation. Only used internally.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

callbacks

List of path operations that will be used as OpenAPI callbacks.

This is only for OpenAPI documentation, the callbacks won't be used directly.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Callbacks.

TYPE: Optional[List[BaseRoute]] DEFAULT: None

openapi_extra

Extra metadata to be included in the OpenAPI schema for this path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Advanced Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None

generate_unique_id_function

Customize the function used to generate unique IDs for the path operations shown in the generated OpenAPI.

This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients or SDKs for your API.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Callable[[APIRoute], str] DEFAULT: Default(generate_unique_id)

Add a path operation using an HTTP PATCH operation.

Example
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str
    description: str | None = None

app = FastAPI()

@app.patch("/items/")
def update_item(item: Item):
    return {"message": "Item updated in place"}
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
path

The URL path to be used for this path operation.

For example, in http://example.com/items, the path is /items.

TYPE: str

response_model

The type to use for the response.

It could be any valid Pydantic field type. So, it doesn't have to be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a list, dict, etc.

It will be used for:

  • Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at /docs) will show it as the response (JSON Schema).
  • Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the response_model would be used to serialize that object into the corresponding JSON.
  • Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data (fields) defined in the response_model. If you returned an object that contains an attribute password but the response_model does not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have that password.
  • Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the response_model, converting any data as necessary to generate the corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client, so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model.

TYPE: Any DEFAULT: Default(None)

status_code

The default status code to be used for the response.

You could override the status code by returning a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Status Code.

TYPE: Optional[int] DEFAULT: None

tags

A list of tags to be applied to the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[List[Union[str, Enum]]] DEFAULT: None

dependencies

A list of dependencies (using Depends()) to be applied to the path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Dependencies in path operation decorators.

TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Depends]] DEFAULT: None

summary

A summary for the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

description

A description for the path operation.

If not provided, it will be extracted automatically from the docstring of the path operation function.

It can contain Markdown.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_description

The description for the default response.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: str DEFAULT: 'Successful Response'

responses

Additional responses that could be returned by this path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[Dict[Union[int, str], Dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None

deprecated

Mark this path operation as deprecated.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None

operation_id

Custom operation ID to be used by this path operation.

By default, it is generated automatically.

If you provide a custom operation ID, you need to make sure it is unique for the whole API.

You can customize the operation ID generation with the parameter generate_unique_id_function in the FastAPI class.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_model_include

Configuration passed to Pydantic to include only certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_exclude

Configuration passed to Pydantic to exclude certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_by_alias

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response model should be serialized by alias when an alias is used.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_model_exclude_unset

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that were not set and have their default values. This is different from response_model_exclude_defaults in that if the fields are set, they will be included in the response, even if the value is the same as the default.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_defaults

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that have the same value as the default. This is different from response_model_exclude_unset in that if the fields are set but contain the same default values, they will be excluded from the response.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_none

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should exclude fields set to None.

This is much simpler (less smart) than response_model_exclude_unset and response_model_exclude_defaults. You probably want to use one of those two instead of this one, as those allow returning None values when it makes sense.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

include_in_schema

Include this path operation in the generated OpenAPI schema.

This affects the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Query Parameters and String Validations.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_class

Response class to be used for this path operation.

This will not be used if you return a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Custom Response - HTML, Stream, File, others.

TYPE: Type[Response] DEFAULT: Default(JSONResponse)

name

Name for this path operation. Only used internally.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

callbacks

List of path operations that will be used as OpenAPI callbacks.

This is only for OpenAPI documentation, the callbacks won't be used directly.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Callbacks.

TYPE: Optional[List[BaseRoute]] DEFAULT: None

openapi_extra

Extra metadata to be included in the OpenAPI schema for this path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Advanced Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None

generate_unique_id_function

Customize the function used to generate unique IDs for the path operations shown in the generated OpenAPI.

This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients or SDKs for your API.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Callable[[APIRoute], str] DEFAULT: Default(generate_unique_id)

            etc.

            It will be used for:

            * Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at `/docs`) will

            * Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the

            * Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data
                (fields) defined in the `response_model`. If you returned an object
                that contains an attribute `password` but the `response_model` does

                `response_model`, converting any data as necessary to generate the

Example
from fastapi import FastAPI

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
path

The URL path to be used for this path operation.

For example, in http://example.com/items, the path is /items.

TYPE: str

response_model

The type to use for the response.

It could be any valid Pydantic field type. So, it doesn't have to be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a list, dict, etc.

It will be used for:

  • Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at /docs) will show it as the response (JSON Schema).
  • Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the response_model would be used to serialize that object into the corresponding JSON.
  • Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data (fields) defined in the response_model. If you returned an object that contains an attribute password but the response_model does not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have that password.
  • Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the response_model, converting any data as necessary to generate the corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client, so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model.

TYPE: Any DEFAULT: Default(None)

status_code

The default status code to be used for the response.

You could override the status code by returning a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Status Code.

TYPE: Optional[int] DEFAULT: None

tags

A list of tags to be applied to the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[List[Union[str, Enum]]] DEFAULT: None

dependencies

A list of dependencies (using Depends()) to be applied to the path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Dependencies in path operation decorators.

TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Depends]] DEFAULT: None

summary

A summary for the path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

description

A description for the path operation.

If not provided, it will be extracted automatically from the docstring of the path operation function.

It can contain Markdown.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_description

The description for the default response.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: str DEFAULT: 'Successful Response'

responses

Additional responses that could be returned by this path operation.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[Dict[Union[int, str], Dict[str, Any]]] DEFAULT: None

deprecated

Mark this path operation as deprecated.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None

operation_id

Custom operation ID to be used by this path operation.

By default, it is generated automatically.

If you provide a custom operation ID, you need to make sure it is unique for the whole API.

You can customize the operation ID generation with the parameter generate_unique_id_function in the FastAPI class.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs about how to Generate Clients.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

response_model_include

Configuration passed to Pydantic to include only certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_exclude

Configuration passed to Pydantic to exclude certain fields in the response data.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: Optional[IncEx] DEFAULT: None

response_model_by_alias

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response model should be serialized by alias when an alias is used.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_model_exclude_unset

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that were not set and have their default values. This is different from response_model_exclude_defaults in that if the fields are set, they will be included in the response, even if the value is the same as the default.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_defaults

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should have all the fields, including the ones that have the same value as the default. This is different from response_model_exclude_unset in that if the fields are set but contain the same default values, they will be excluded from the response.

When True, default values are omitted from the response.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

response_model_exclude_none

Configuration passed to Pydantic to define if the response data should exclude fields set to None.

This is much simpler (less smart) than response_model_exclude_unset and response_model_exclude_defaults. You probably want to use one of those two instead of this one, as those allow returning None values when it makes sense.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Response Model - Return Type.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

include_in_schema

Include this path operation in the generated OpenAPI schema.

This affects the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Query Parameters and String Validations.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

response_class

Response class to be used for this path operation.

This will not be used if you return a response directly.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Custom Response - HTML, Stream, File, others.

TYPE: Type[Response] DEFAULT: Default(JSONResponse)

name

Name for this path operation. Only used internally.

TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None

callbacks

List of path operations that will be used as OpenAPI callbacks.

This is only for OpenAPI documentation, the callbacks won't be used directly.

It will be added to the generated OpenAPI (e.g. visible at /docs).

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for OpenAPI Callbacks.

TYPE: Optional[List[BaseRoute]] DEFAULT: None

openapi_extra

Extra metadata to be included in the OpenAPI schema for this path operation.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Path Operation Advanced Configuration.

TYPE: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] DEFAULT: None

generate_unique_id_function

Customize the function used to generate unique IDs for the path operations shown in the generated OpenAPI.

This is particularly useful when automatically generating clients or SDKs for your API.

            The type to use for the response.

            It could be any valid Pydantic *field* type. So, it doesn't have to
            be a Pydantic model, it could be other things, like a `list`, `dict`,
            etc.

            It will be used for:

            * Documentation: the generated OpenAPI (and the UI at `/docs`) will
                show it as the response (JSON Schema).
            * Serialization: you could return an arbitrary object and the
                `response_model` would be used to serialize that object into the
                corresponding JSON.
            * Filtering: the JSON sent to the client will only contain the data
                (fields) defined in the `response_model`. If you returned an object
                that contains an attribute `password` but the `response_model` does
                not include that field, the JSON sent to the client would not have
                that `password`.
            * Validation: whatever you return will be serialized with the
                `response_model`, converting any data as necessary to generate the
                corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not
                valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client,
                so it's an error from the API developer. So, FastAPI will raise an
                error and return a 500 error code (Internal Server Error).
