If you don't want to add a specific value but just make it optional, set the default as `None`.

But when you want to make a query parameter required, you can just not declare any default value:

{* ../../docs_src/query_params/tutorial005.py hl[6:7] *}

Here the query parameter `needy` is a required query parameter of type `str`.

If you open in your browser a URL like:

```

Let's see how that works and how to change it if you need to do that.

## Pydantic Models for Input and Output { #pydantic-models-for-input-and-output }

Let's say you have a Pydantic model with default values, like this one:

{* ../../docs_src/separate_openapi_schemas/tutorial001_py310.py ln[1:7] hl[7] *}

### Model for Input { #model-for-input }

If you use this model as an input like here:

## Dataclasses in Nested Data Structures { #dataclasses-in-nested-data-structures }

You can also combine `dataclasses` with other type annotations to make nested data structures.

In some cases, you might still have to use Pydantic's version of `dataclasses`. For example, if you have errors with the automatically generated API documentation.

<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
<h2>Query Syntax</h2>
<dl>
	<dt>Field</dt>
	<dd>
		You can search any field by typing the field name followed by a colon
		":" and then the term you are looking for. If you want to find
		documents which has "Fess" as the document title, you can enter:
		<pre>title:Fess</pre>
		The available fields are "url", "host", "site", "title", "content",

With **FastAPI** you get all of **Pydantic**'s features (as FastAPI is based on Pydantic for all the data handling):

* **No brainfuck**:
    * No new schema definition micro-language to learn.
    * If you know Python types you know how to use Pydantic.
