# Background Tasks - `BackgroundTasks`

You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency function with the type `BackgroundTasks`, and then you can use it to schedule the execution of background tasks after the response is sent.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks
```

            - body
            - background
            - raw_headers
            - render
            - init_headers
            - headers
            - set_cookie
            - delete_cookie

::: fastapi.responses.HTMLResponse
    options:
        members:
            - charset
            - status_code
            - media_type
            - body
            - background
            - raw_headers
