## Running on Startup

In most cases, when you create a web API, you want it to be **always running**, uninterrupted, so that your clients can always access it. This is of course, unless you have a specific reason why you want it to run only in certain situations, but most of the time you want it constantly running and **available**.

Digamos que quieres devolver una respuesta <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML" class="external-link" target="_blank">XML</a>.

So, you can use `user_agent` as you normally would in Python code, instead of needing to capitalize the first letters as `User_Agent` or something similar.

If for some reason you need to disable automatic conversion of underscores to hyphens, set the parameter `convert_underscores` of `Header` to `False`:

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="10"

And you don't need to declare anything else for that parameter, so you don't really need to use `Query`.

But you still need to use `Path` for the `item_id` path parameter. And you don't want to use `Annotated` for some reason.

Python will complain if you put a value with a "default" before a value that doesn't have a "default".

But you can re-order them, and have the value without a default (the query parameter `q`) first.

Most of these settings are variable (can change), like database URLs. And many could be sensitive, like secrets.

For this reason it's common to provide them in environment variables that are read by the application.

## Environment Variables

!!! tip

Aso, when returning several objects, like in `get_users`, we directly call `list`, like in:

```Python
list(models.User.select())
```

## Detalles Técnicos

Las versiones modernas de Python tienen soporte para **"código asíncrono"** usando algo llamado **"coroutines"**, usando la sintaxis **`async` y `await`**.

Veamos esa frase por partes en las secciones siguientes:
