#### API "schema"

In this case, <a href="https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification" class="external-link" target="_blank">OpenAPI</a> is a specification that dictates how to define a schema of your API.

This schema definition includes your API paths, the possible parameters they take, etc.

#### Data "schema"

The term "schema" might also refer to the shape of some data, like a JSON content.

But it was created before there existed Python type hints. So, to define every <abbr title="the definition of how data should be formed">schema</abbr> you need to use specific utils and classes provided by Marshmallow.

!!! check "Inspired **FastAPI** to"
    Use code to define "schemas" that provide data types and validation, automatically.

    ```

=== "Python 3.8+"

    ```Python hl_lines="9-11  14-15  18  19  23"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/generate_clients/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

Notice that the *path operations* define the models they use for request payload and response payload, using the models `Item` and `ResponseMessage`.

### API Docs

=== "Python 3.8+"

    ```Python hl_lines="31  37"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/response_model/tutorial006.py!}
    ```

## Recap

Use the *path operation decorator's* parameter `response_model` to define response models and especially to ensure private data is filtered out.

    {!> ../../../docs_src/query_params_str_validations/tutorial003_py310.py!}
    ```

👆 💪 🔬 <abbr title="A regular expression, regex or regexp is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern for strings.">🥔 🧬</abbr> 👈 🔢 🔜 🏏:

=== "🐍 3️⃣.6️⃣ &amp; 🔛"

    ```Python hl_lines="11"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/query_params_str_validations/tutorial004.py!}
    ```

If you can use the **latest versions of Python**, use the examples for the latest version, those will have the **best and simplest syntax**, for example, "**Python 3.10+**".

#### List

For example, let's define a variable to be a `list` of `str`.

=== "Python 3.9+"

    Declare the variable, with the same colon (`:`) syntax.

    As the type, put `list`.

```

</div>

If you use Hypercorn, it also has the option `--root-path`.

!!! note "Technical Details"
    The ASGI specification defines a `root_path` for this use case.

    And the `--root-path` command line option provides that `root_path`.

### Checking the current `root_path`

Create a variable `ALGORITHM` with the algorithm used to sign the JWT token and set it to `"HS256"`.

Create a variable for the expiration of the token.

Define a Pydantic Model that will be used in the token endpoint for the response.

Create a utility function to generate a new access token.

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="6  12-14  28-30  78-86"

* **Cloud services** that handle this for you
    * The cloud service will probably **handle replication for you**. It would possibly let you define **a process to run**, or a **container image** to use, in any case, it would most probably be **a single Uvicorn process**, and the cloud service would be in charge of replicating it.
