If you go to the **API docs UI** at `/docs` you will be able to see the **documentation** for cookies for your *path operations*.

But even if you **fill the data** and click "Execute", because the docs UI works with **JavaScript**, the cookies won't be sent, and you will see an **error** message as if you didn't write any values.

///

You can declare a parameter of type `Response` in your *path operation function* (as you can do for cookies).

And then you can set headers in that *temporal* response object.

{* ../../docs_src/response_headers/tutorial002.py hl[1, 7:8] *}

And then you can return any object you need, as you normally would (a `dict`, a database model, etc).

application is **simple**, this will probably **not be a problem**, and you might not need to specify hard memory limits. But if you are **using a lot of memory** (for example with **machine learning** models), you should check how much memory you are consuming and adjust the **number of containers** that runs in **each machine** (and maybe add more machines to your cluster).

If you run **multiple processes per container** you will have to make sure that the number of processes started doesn't...

And many teams use only `PUT`, even for partial updates.

You are **free** to use them however you want, **FastAPI** doesn't impose any restrictions.

But this guide shows you, more or less, how they are intended to be used.

### Using Pydantic's `exclude_unset` parameter { #using-pydantics-exclude-unset-parameter }

Declare the **header parameters** that you need in a **Pydantic model**, and then declare the parameter as `Header`:

{* ../../docs_src/header_param_models/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[9:14,18] *}

**FastAPI** will **extract** the data for **each field** from the **headers** in the request and give you the Pydantic model you defined.

## Check the Docs { #check-the-docs }

You can see the required headers in the docs UI at `/docs`:
