# Exceptions - `HTTPException` and `WebSocketException`

These are the exceptions that you can raise to show errors to the client.

When you raise an exception, as would happen with normal Python, the rest of the execution is aborted. This way you can raise these exceptions from anywhere in the code to abort a request and show the error to the client.

You can use:

* `HTTPException`
* `WebSocketException`

from pydantic import BaseModel, create_model
from starlette.exceptions import HTTPException as StarletteHTTPException
from starlette.exceptions import WebSocketException as StarletteWebSocketException
from typing_extensions import Annotated, Doc


class HTTPException(StarletteHTTPException):
    """
    An HTTP exception you can raise in your own code to show errors to the client.

def reset_state_and_db():
    global fake_database
    global state
    fake_database = initial_fake_database.copy()
    state = initial_state.copy()


client = TestClient(app)


def test_dependency_gets_exception():
    assert state["except"] is False
    assert state["finally"] is False
    response = client.put("/invalid-user/rick", json="Morty")
    assert response.status_code == 400, response.text

from fastapi.encoders import jsonable_encoder
from fastapi.exceptions import RequestValidationError, WebSocketRequestValidationError
from fastapi.utils import is_body_allowed_for_status_code
from fastapi.websockets import WebSocket
from starlette.exceptions import HTTPException
from starlette.requests import Request
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse, Response
from starlette.status import HTTP_422_UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY, WS_1008_POLICY_VIOLATION

    ```

An alternative you could use to catch exceptions (and possibly also raise another `HTTPException`) is to create a [Custom Exception Handler](../handling-errors.md#install-custom-exception-handlers){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## Dependencies with `yield` and `except`

from starlette import status as status

from .applications import FastAPI as FastAPI
from .background import BackgroundTasks as BackgroundTasks
from .datastructures import UploadFile as UploadFile
from .exceptions import HTTPException as HTTPException
from .exceptions import WebSocketException as WebSocketException
from .param_functions import Body as Body
from .param_functions import Cookie as Cookie
from .param_functions import Depends as Depends

```

## Install custom exception handlers

You can add custom exception handlers with <a href="https://www.starlette.io/exceptions/" class="external-link" target="_blank">the same exception utilities from Starlette</a>.

Let's say you have a custom exception `UnicornException` that you (or a library you use) might `raise`.

And you want to handle this exception globally with FastAPI.

from typing import Callable, List

from fastapi import Body, FastAPI, HTTPException, Request, Response
from fastapi.exceptions import RequestValidationError
from fastapi.routing import APIRoute


class ValidationErrorLoggingRoute(APIRoute):
    def get_route_handler(self) -> Callable:
        original_route_handler = super().get_route_handler()

        async def custom_route_handler(request: Request) -> Response:
            try:

    )


def test_internal_server_error():
    from docs_src.dependencies.tutorial008d import app

    client = TestClient(app, raise_server_exceptions=False)
    response = client.get("/items/portal-gun")
    assert response.status_code == 500, response.text
