Requests has a very simple and intuitive design, it's very easy to use, with sensible defaults. But at the same time, it's very powerful and customizable.

That's why, as said in the official website:

> Requests is one of the most downloaded Python packages of all time

The way you use it is very simple. For example, to do a `GET` request, you would write:

```Python

As part of that, I needed to investigate, test and use many alternatives.

The history of **FastAPI** is in great part the history of its predecessors.

As said in the section [Alternatives](alternatives.md){.internal-link target=_blank}:

**FastAPI** wouldn't exist if not for the previous work of others.

## Query parameter list / multiple values

When you define a query parameter explicitly with `Query` you can also declare it to receive a list of values, or said in other way, to receive multiple values.

For example, to declare a query parameter `q` that can appear multiple times in the URL, you can write:

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="9"

                **Example**

                ```python
                from fastapi import FastAPI

                app = FastAPI(summary="Deadpond's favorite app. Nuff said.")
                ```
                """
            ),
        ] = None,
