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

```Python
response = requests.get("http://example.com/some/url")
```

The FastAPI counterpart API *path operation* could look like:

```Python hl_lines="1"
@app.get("/some/url")
def read_url():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}
```

See the similarities in `requests.get(...)` and `@app.get(...)`.

To work with FastAPI you need to install [Python](https://www.python.org/).

After that, you would need to **install** FastAPI and any other **packages** you want to use.

To install packages you would normally use the `pip` command that comes with Python (or similar alternatives).

Nevertheless, if you just use `pip` directly, the packages would be installed in your **global Python environment** (the global installation of Python).

	n++
}
i := *p
*q = 1
</pre>

<p>
If <code>list</code> pointed to a cyclic list,
then the original program would never access <code>*p</code> or <code>*q</code>,
but the rewritten program would.
(Moving `*p` ahead would be safe if the compiler can prove `*p` will not panic;
moving `*q` ahead would also require the compiler proving that no other
goroutine can access `*q`.)
</p>

Instead, use the actual default value of the function parameter. Otherwise, it would be inconsistent.

For example, this is not allowed:

```Python
q: Annotated[str, Query(default="rick")] = "morty"
```

...because it's not clear if the default value should be `"rick"` or `"morty"`.

So, you would use (preferably):

```Python
q: Annotated[str, Query()] = "rick"
```

For example, you could want to **return a dictionary** or a database object, but **declare it as a Pydantic model**. This way the Pydantic model would do all the data documentation, validation, etc. for the object that you returned (e.g. a dictionary or database object).

You import it and create an "instance" the same way you would with the class `FastAPI`:

{* ../../docs_src/bigger_applications/app_an_py310/routers/users.py hl[1,3] title["app/routers/users.py"] *}

### *Path operations* with `APIRouter` { #path-operations-with-apirouter }

And then you use it to declare your *path operations*.

Use it the same way you would use the `FastAPI` class:
