## What makes a dependency { #what-makes-a-dependency }

Up to now you have seen dependencies declared as functions.

But that's not the only way to declare dependencies (although it would probably be the more common).

The key factor is that a dependency should be a "callable".

A "**callable**" in Python is anything that Python can "call" like a function.

# OpenAPI Callbacks { #openapi-callbacks }

You could create an API with a *path operation* that could trigger a request to an *external API* created by someone else (probably the same developer that would be *using* your API).

                    corresponding JSON. But if the data in the object returned is not
                    valid, that would mean a violation of the contract with the client,

`Header` has a little extra functionality on top of what `Path`, `Query` and `Cookie` provide.
