# Header Parameters { #header-parameters }

You can define Header parameters the same way you define `Query`, `Path` and `Cookie` parameters.

## Import `Header` { #import-header }

First import `Header`:

{* ../../docs_src/header_params/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[3] *}

## Declare `Header` parameters { #declare-header-parameters }

Then declare the header parameters using the same structure as with `Path`, `Query` and `Cookie`.

func setEventStreamHeaders(w http.ResponseWriter) {
	w.Header().Set(xhttp.ContentType, "text/event-stream")
	w.Header().Set(xhttp.CacheControl, "no-cache") // nginx to turn off buffering
	w.Header().Set("X-Accel-Buffering", "no")      // nginx to turn off buffering
}

// Write http common headers
func setCommonHeaders(w http.ResponseWriter) {
	// Set the "Server" http header.
	w.Header().Set(xhttp.ServerInfo, MinioStoreName)

# Header Parameter Models { #header-parameter-models }

If you have a group of related **header parameters**, you can create a **Pydantic model** to declare them.

This would allow you to **re-use the model** in **multiple places** and also to declare validations and metadata for all the parameters at once. 😎

/// note

This is supported since FastAPI version `0.115.0`. 🤓

///

And as the `Response` can be used frequently to set headers and cookies, **FastAPI** also provides it at `fastapi.Response`.

## Custom Headers { #custom-headers }

Keep in mind that custom proprietary headers can be added <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers" class="external-link" target="_blank">using the 'X-' prefix</a>.
