**FastAPI** is based on **OpenAPI**.

That's what makes it possible to have multiple automatic interactive documentation interfaces, code generation, etc.

OpenAPI has a way to define multiple security "schemes".

By using them, you can take advantage of all these standard-based tools, including these interactive documentation systems.

OpenAPI defines the following security schemes:

* The _path_ `/items/{item_id}` has an optional `str` _query parameter_ `q`.

### Interactive API docs { #interactive-api-docs }

Now go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs</a>.

### Documentation API interactive

Maintenant, rendez-vous sur <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs</a>.

Vous verrez la documentation interactive automatique de l'API (fournie par <a href="https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui" class="external-link" target="_blank">Swagger UI</a>) :

You will see the JSON response as:

```JSON
{"message": "Hello World"}
```

### Interactive API docs { #interactive-api-docs }

Now go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs</a>.

You will see the automatic interactive API documentation (provided by <a href="https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui" class="external-link" target="_blank">Swagger UI</a>):

```console
$ fastapi dev main.py

<span style="color: green;">INFO</span>:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
```

</div>

## Check it { #check-it }

Go to the interactive docs at: <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs</a>.

You will see something like this:

<img src="/img/tutorial/security/image01.png">

{* ../../docs_src/path_operation_configuration/tutorial004_py310.py hl[17:25] *}

It will be used in the interactive docs:

<img src="/img/tutorial/path-operation-configuration/image02.png">

## Response description { #response-description }

You can specify the response description with the parameter `response_description`:

<img src="/img/tutorial/path-params/image01.png">

/// check

Again, just with that same Python type declaration, **FastAPI** gives you automatic, interactive documentation (integrating Swagger UI).

Notice that the path parameter is declared to be an integer.

///

  private var failFastResponse: MockResponse? = null

  @Throws(InterruptedException::class)
  override fun dispatch(request: RecordedRequest): MockResponse {
    // To permit interactive/browser testing, ignore requests for favicons.
    val requestLine = request.requestLine
    if (requestLine == "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1") {
      logger.info("served $requestLine")

### Automatic docs { #automatic-docs }

Interactive API documentation and exploration web user interfaces. As the framework is based on OpenAPI, there are multiple options, 2 included by default.

* <a href="https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui" class="external-link" target="_blank"><strong>Swagger UI</strong></a>, with interactive exploration, call and test your API directly from the browser.
