# Request Parameters¶

Here's the reference information for the request parameters.

These are the special functions that you can put in _path operation function_ parameters or dependency functions with `Annotated` to get data from the request.

It includes:

- `Query()`
- `Path()`
- `Body()`
- `Cookie()`
- `Header()`
- `Form()`
- `File()`

You can import them all directly from `fastapi`:

```
from fastapi import Body, Cookie, File, Form, Header, Path, Query
```

| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `default`             | Default value if the parameter field is not set. **TYPE:** `Any` **DEFAULT:** `Undefined`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| `default_factory`     | A callable to generate the default value. This doesn't affect `Path` parameters as the value is always required. The parameter is available only for compatibility. **TYPE:** `Callable[[], Any] \| None` **DEFAULT:** `_Unset`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| `embed`               | When `embed` is `True`, the parameter will be expected in a JSON body as a key instead of being the JSON body itself. This happens automatically when more than one `Body` parameter is declared. Read more about it in the [FastAPI docs for Body - Multiple Parameters](/guides/tutorial-user-guide-body-multiple-params#embed-a-single-body-parameter). **TYPE:** `bool \| None` **DEFAULT:** `None`                                                                                                |
| `media_type`          | The media type of this parameter field. Changing it would affect the generated OpenAPI, but currently it doesn't affect the parsing of the data. **TYPE:** `str` **DEFAULT:** `'application/json'`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| `alias`               | An alternative name for the parameter field. This will be used to extract the data and for the generated OpenAPI. It is particularly useful when you can't use the name you want because it is a Python reserved keyword or similar. **TYPE:** `str \| None` **DEFAULT:** `None`                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| `alias_priority`      | Priority of the alias. This affects whether an alias generator is used. **TYPE:** `int \| None` **DEFAULT:** `_Unset`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| `validation_alias`    | 'Whitelist' validation step. The parameter field will be the single one allowed by the alias or set of aliases defined. **TYPE:** `str \| AliasPath \| AliasChoices \| None` **DEFAULT:** `None`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| `serialization_alias` | 'Blacklist' validation step. The vanilla parameter field will be the single one of the alias' or set of aliases' fields and all the other fields will be ignored at serialization time. **TYPE:** `str \| None` **DEFAULT:** `None`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| `title`               | Human-readable title. **TYPE:** `str \| None` **DEFAULT:** `None`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

| `default`             | Default value if the parameter field is not set. **TYPE:** `Any` **DEFAULT:** `Undefined`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| `default_factory`     | A callable to generate the default value. This doesn't affect `Path` parameters as the value is always required. The parameter is available only for compatibility. **TYPE:** `Callable[[], Any] \| None` **DEFAULT:** `_Unset`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| `media_type`          | The media type of this parameter field. Changing it would affect the generated OpenAPI, but currently it doesn't affect the parsing of the data. **TYPE:** `str` **DEFAULT:** `'multipart/form-data'`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| `alias`               | An alternative name for the parameter field. This will be used to extract the data and for the generated OpenAPI. It is particularly useful when you can't use the name you want because it is a Python reserved keyword or similar. **TYPE:** `str \| None` **DEFAULT:** `None`                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| `alias_priority`      | Priority of the alias. This affects whether an alias generator is used. **TYPE:** `int \| None` **DEFAULT:** `_Unset`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| `validation_alias`    | 'Whitelist' validation step. The parameter field will be the single one allowed by the alias or set of aliases defined. **TYPE:** `str \| AliasPath \| AliasChoices \| None` **DEFAULT:** `None`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| `serialization_alias` | 'Blacklist' validation step. The vanilla parameter field will be the single one of the alias' or set of aliases' fields and all the other fields will be ignored at serialization time. **TYPE:** `str \| None` **DEFAULT:** `None`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
