So, with that type declaration, **FastAPI** gives you automatic request <abbr title="converting the string that comes from an HTTP request into Python data">"parsing"</abbr>.

## Data validation

That would work for most of the cases. 😎

You could use that command for example to start your **FastAPI** app in a container, in a server, etc.

## ASGI Servers

Let's go a little deeper into the details.

FastAPI uses a standard for building Python web frameworks and servers called <abbr title="Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface">ASGI</abbr>. FastAPI is an ASGI web framework.

class APIKeyQuery(APIKeyBase):
    """
    API key authentication using a query parameter.

    This defines the name of the query parameter that should be provided in the request
    with the API key and integrates that into the OpenAPI documentation. It extracts
    the key value sent in the query parameter automatically and provides it as the
    dependency result. But it doesn't define how to send that API key to the client.

    ## Usage

```JSON
{"item_id":3}
```

And the part after the `yield` will be executed **after** the application has finished.

### Async Context Manager

If you check, the function is decorated with an `@asynccontextmanager`.

That converts the function into something called an "**async context manager**".

```Python hl_lines="1  13"
{!../../../docs_src/events/tutorial003.py!}
```

But you still need to define what is the dependable, the callable that you pass as a parameter to `Depends()` or `Security()`.

There are multiple tools that you can use to create those dependables, and they get integrated into OpenAPI so they are shown in the automatic docs UI, they can be used by automatically generated clients and SDKs, etc.

You can import them from `fastapi.security`:

```python
from fastapi.security import (
    APIKeyCookie,

{!../../../docs_src/path_operation_advanced_configuration/tutorial006.py!}
```

In this example, we didn't declare any Pydantic model. In fact, the request body is not even <abbr title="converted from some plain format, like bytes, into Python objects">parsed</abbr> as JSON, it is read directly as `bytes`, and the function `magic_data_reader()` would be in charge of parsing it in some way.

Nevertheless, we can declare the expected schema for the request body.
