/// note | Technical Details

You could also use `from starlette import status`.

**FastAPI** provides the same `starlette.status` as `fastapi.status` just as a convenience for you, the developer. But it comes directly from Starlette.

///

## Changing the default { #changing-the-default }

# Additional Status Codes { #additional-status-codes }

By default, **FastAPI** will return the responses using a `JSONResponse`, putting the content you return from your *path operation* inside of that `JSONResponse`.

It will use the default status code or the one you set in your *path operation*.

## Additional status codes { #additional-status-codes_1 }

# Response - Change Status Code { #response-change-status-code }

You probably read before that you can set a default [Response Status Code](../tutorial/response-status-code.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

But in some cases you need to return a different status code than the default.

## Use case { #use-case }

For example, imagine that you want to return an HTTP status code of "OK" `200` by default.

		userReq := *change.UserReq
		if userReq.Status != "" && userReq.SecretKey == "" {
			// Status is set without secretKey updates means we are
			// only changing the account status.
			_, err = globalIAMSys.SetUserStatus(ctx, change.AccessKey, userReq.Status)
		} else {
			// We don't allow internal user creation with LDAP enabled for now

		// Call the ServeHTTP to executes the registered handler.
		apiRouter.ServeHTTP(rec, req)
		// Assert the response code with the expected status.
		if rec.Code != testCase.expectedRespStatus {
			t.Errorf("Test %d: MinIO %s: Expected the response status to be `%d`, but instead found `%d`", i, instanceType, testCase.expectedRespStatus, rec.Code)
		}

		// read the response body.

func (rs *ReplicationState) Equal(o ReplicationState) bool {
	return rs.ReplicaStatus == o.ReplicaStatus &&
		rs.ReplicationStatusInternal == o.ReplicationStatusInternal &&
		rs.VersionPurgeStatusInternal == o.VersionPurgeStatusInternal
}

// CompositeReplicationStatus returns overall replication status for the object version being replicated.

            Object resp = inv.getArgument(1);
            // Set private fields: status on SmbComTransactionResponse and available on TransPeekNamedPipeResponse
            Field statusField = jcifs.internal.smb1.trans.SmbComTransactionResponse.class.getDeclaredField("status");
            statusField.setAccessible(true);
            statusField.setInt(resp, status);

	c.Assert(err, nil)
	// assert the HTTP response status code.
	c.Assert(response.StatusCode, http.StatusOK)

	// initiate anonymous HTTP request to fetch the object which does not exist. We need to return AccessDenied.
