It takes a list containing one dictionary for each tag.

Each dictionary can contain:

* `name` (**required**): a `str` with the same tag name you use in the `tags` parameter in your *path operations* and `APIRouter`s.
* `description`: a `str` with a short description for the tag. It can have Markdown and will be shown in the docs UI.

* Add note to docs: [Include the same router multiple times with different `prefix`](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/bigger-applications/#include-the-same-router-multiple-times-with-different-prefix). PR [#348](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/348).

* Fix OpenAPI/JSON Schema generation for two functions with the same name (in different modules) with the same composite bodies.

This will be especially useful when you use it in a **large code base** where you use **the same dependencies** over and over again in **many *path operations***.

## To `async` or not to `async`

As dependencies will also be called by **FastAPI** (the same as your *path operation functions*), the same rules apply while defining your functions.

```Python hl_lines="9-13  36-53"
{!../../../docs_src/openapi_webhooks/tutorial001.py!}
```

The webhooks that you define will end up in the **OpenAPI** schema and the automatic **docs UI**.

!!! info

The process that happens when your API app calls the *external API* is named a "callback". Because the software that the external developer wrote sends a request to your API and then your API *calls back*, sending a request to an *external API* (that was probably created by the same developer).

This also means that in many cases you can pass the same object you get from a request **directly to the database**, as everything is validated automatically.

The same applies the other way around, in many cases you can just pass the object you get from the database **directly to the client**.

    ```Python hl_lines="7  13"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_03.py!}
    ```

## Multiple File Uploads

It's possible to upload several files at the same time.

They would be associated to the same "form field" sent using "form data".

To use that, declare a list of `bytes` or `UploadFile`:

=== "Python 3.9+"

    ```Python hl_lines="10  15"

And all of them will use the same WebSocket connection.

## Using `Depends` and others

In WebSocket endpoints you can import from `fastapi` and use:

* `Depends`
* `Security`
* `Cookie`
* `Header`
* `Path`
* `Query`

They work the same way as for other FastAPI endpoints/*path operations*:

=== "Python 3.10+"

So:

```Python
q: Union[str, None] = Query(default=None)
```

...makes the parameter optional, with a default value of `None`, the same as:

```Python
q: Union[str, None] = None
```

And in Python 3.10 and above:
