For some types of applications you might want to add dependencies to the whole application.

Similar to the way you can [add `dependencies` to the *path operation decorators*](dependencies-in-path-operation-decorators.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, you can add them to the `FastAPI` application.

In that case, they will be applied to all the *path operations* in the application:

                            "description": "Successful Response",
                            "content": {"application/json": {"schema": {}}},
                        },
                        "422": {
                            "description": "Validation Error",
                            "content": {
                                "application/json": {
                                    "schema": {

                                "application/json": {
                                    "schema": {"$ref": "#/components/schemas/Error"}
                                }
                            },
                        },
                        "200": {
                            "description": "Successful Response",
                            "content": {"application/json": {"schema": {}}},
                        },

                            "description": "Successful Response",
                            "content": {"application/json": {"schema": {}}},
                        },
                        "default": {
                            "description": "Default Response",
                            "content": {
                                "application/json": {
                                    "schema": {

### Choosing between application and network interceptors

Each interceptor chain has relative merits.

**Application interceptors**

 * Don't need to worry about intermediate responses like redirects and retries.
 * Are always invoked once, even if the HTTP response is served from the cache.

                "application/json": {

                    }
                }
            }
        },
