# `APIRouter` class

Here's the reference information for the `APIRouter` class, with all its parameters, attributes and methods.

You can import the `APIRouter` class directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import APIRouter
```

::: fastapi.APIRouter
    options:
        members:
            - websocket
            - include_router
            - get
            - put
            - post
            - delete

You can create the *path operations* for that module using `APIRouter`.

### Import `APIRouter` { #import-apirouter }

You import it and create an "instance" the same way you would with the class `FastAPI`:

{* ../../docs_src/bigger_applications/app_an_py310/routers/users.py hl[1,3] title["app/routers/users.py"] *}

### *Path operations* with `APIRouter` { #path-operations-with-apirouter }

And then you use it to declare your *path operations*.
