### Required, can be `None` { #required-can-be-none }

You can declare that a parameter can accept `None`, but that it's still required. This would force clients to send a value, even if the value is `None`.

# Response Model - Return Type { #response-model-return-type }

You can declare the type used for the response by annotating the *path operation function* **return type**.

You can use **type annotations** the same way you would for input data in function **parameters**, you can use Pydantic models, lists, dictionaries, scalar values like integers, booleans, etc.

There is a `#contributing` channel on the community Slack which you can use
to ask any questions.

## Finding issues to work on

If you are looking for good first issues, take a look at the list of [good first issues](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/labels/good%20first%20issue) that should be actionable and ready for a contribution.

These are the tasks that can be performed to manage the FastAPI repository by [team members](./fastapi-people.md#team).

/// tip

This section is useful only to a handful of people, team members with permissions to manage the repository. You can probably skip it. 😉

///

...so, you are a [team member of FastAPI](./fastapi-people.md#team)? Wow, you are so cool! 😎

You can think of `APIRouter` as a "mini `FastAPI`" class.

All the same options are supported.

All the same `parameters`, `responses`, `dependencies`, `tags`, etc.

/// tip

In this example, the variable is called `router`, but you can name it however you want.

But you can configure the **application server** to trust the *forwarded* headers sent by the **proxy**. If you are using FastAPI CLI, you can use the *CLI Option* `--forwarded-allow-ips` to tell it from which IPs it should trust those *forwarded* headers.

require approval from native speakers for translation PRs generated automatically by our translation workflow. However, you can still review them and suggest improvements to the LLM prompt for that language to make the future translations better.

You can check the currently [existing pull requests](https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/pulls) for your language. You can filter the pull requests by the ones with the label for your language. For example, for Spanish, the label is [`lang-es`](...

* Many PRs don't have tests, you can **remind** them to add tests, or you can even **suggest** some tests yourself. That's one of the things that consume most time and you can help a lot with that.

* Then also comment what you tried, that way I'll know that you checked it. 🤓

## Create a Pull Request { #create-a-pull-request }

You can return a `RedirectResponse` directly:

{* ../../docs_src/custom_response/tutorial006_py310.py hl[2,9] *}

---

Or you can use it in the `response_class` parameter:


{* ../../docs_src/custom_response/tutorial006b_py310.py hl[2,7,9] *}

If you do that, then you can return the URL directly from your *path operation* function.
