And by doing so, **FastAPI** is validating that data, converting it and generating documentation for your API automatically.

But there are situations where you might need to access the `Request` object directly.

## Details about the `Request` object

a.external-link {
  /* For right to left languages */
  direction: ltr;
  display: inline-block;
}

a.external-link::after {
  /* \00A0 is a non-breaking space
        to make the mark be on the same line as the link
    */
  content: "\00A0[↪]";
}

a.internal-link::after {
  /* \00A0 is a non-breaking space
        to make the mark be on the same line as the link
    */
  content: "\00A0↪";
}

.shadow {

    {!> ../../../docs_src/cookie_params/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

## Declare `Cookie` parameters

Then declare the cookie parameters using the same structure as with `Path` and `Query`.

The first value is the default value, you can pass all the extra validation or annotation parameters:

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="9"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/cookie_params/tutorial001_an_py310.py!}
