But you still want to be able to filter and convert the data you return with a `response_model`.

For those cases, you can use a `Response` parameter.

## Use a `Response` parameter

You can declare a parameter of type `Response` in your *path operation function* (as you can do for cookies and headers).

And then you can set the `status_code` in that *temporal* response object.

```Python hl_lines="1  9  12"

If you want to use your APIs' function names as `operationId`s, you can iterate over all of them and override each *path operation's* `operation_id` using their `APIRoute.name`.

You should do it after adding all your *path operations*.

```Python hl_lines="2  12-21  24"

```

!!! tip

Here I'll show you how to use <a href="https://gunicorn.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">**Gunicorn**</a> with **Uvicorn worker processes**.

!!! info
    If you are using containers, for example with Docker or Kubernetes, I'll tell you more about that in the next chapter: [FastAPI in Containers - Docker](docker.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

* Give you the received data in the parameter `item`.
    * As you declared it in the function to be of type `Item`, you will also have all the editor support (completion, etc) for all of the attributes and their types.
* Generate <a href="https://json-schema.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">JSON Schema</a> definitions for your model, you can also use them anywhere else you like if it makes sense for your project.

    And many teams use only `PUT`, even for partial updates.

    You are **free** to use them however you want, **FastAPI** doesn't impose any restrictions.

    But this guide shows you, more or less, how they are intended to be used.

### Using Pydantic's `exclude_unset` parameter

If you want to receive partial updates, it's very useful to use the parameter `exclude_unset` in Pydantic's model's `.model_dump()`.

# Security Tools

When you need to declare dependencies with OAuth2 scopes you use `Security()`.

But you still need to define what is the dependable, the callable that you pass as a parameter to `Depends()` or `Security()`.

There are multiple tools that you can use to create those dependables, and they get integrated into OpenAPI so they are shown in the automatic docs UI, they can be used by automatically generated clients and SDKs, etc.

OSMM+vkKUTCvQs9YL/CVMIMt43HFhkUpqJxTmGl6rYw=
```

Now, you can set `MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY` like this:

```sh
export MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY=my-minio-key:OSMM+vkKUTCvQs9YL/CVMIMt43HFhkUpqJxTmGl6rYw=
```

> You can choose an arbitrary name for the key - instead of `my-minio-key`.
> Please note that losing the `MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY` will cause data loss
> since you will not be able to decrypt the IAM/configuration data anymore.

## Use a `Response` parameter

You can declare a parameter of type `Response` in your *path operation function* (as you can do for cookies).

And then you can set headers in that *temporal* response object.

```Python hl_lines="1  7-8"
{!../../../docs_src/response_headers/tutorial002.py!}
```

And then you can return any object you need, as you normally would (a `dict`, a database model, etc).
