!!! tip
        Prefer to use the `Annotated` version if possible.

    ```Python hl_lines="6"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/security/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

!!! tip
    Here `tokenUrl="token"` refers to a relative URL `token` that we haven't created yet. As it's a relative URL, it's equivalent to `./token`.

Here the `app` variable will be an "instance" of the class `FastAPI`.

This will be the main point of interaction to create all your API.

### Step 3: create a *path operation*

#### Path

"Path" here refers to the last part of the URL starting from the first `/`.

So, in a URL like:

```
https://example.com/items/foo
```

...the path would be:

```
/items/foo
```
