# `APIRouter` class

Here's the reference information for the `APIRouter` class, with all its parameters, attributes and methods.

You can import the `APIRouter` class directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import APIRouter
```

::: fastapi.APIRouter
    options:
        members:
            - websocket
            - include_router

# Dependencies - `Depends()` and `Security()`

## `Depends()`

Dependencies are handled mainly with the special function `Depends()` that takes a callable.

Here is the reference for it and its parameters.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import Depends
```

::: fastapi.Depends

## `Security()`

Si vous le déclarez tel quel, comme c'est une valeur [scalaire](https://docs.github.com/fr/graphql/reference/scalars), **FastAPI** supposera qu'il s'agit d'un paramètre de requête (`Query`).

Mais vous pouvez indiquer à **FastAPI** de la traiter comme une variable de body en utilisant `Body` :

  // there needs to be separate classes for primary and descending multiset, where the primary one
  // would hold {@code @LazyInit @RetainedWith @Nullable} reference to its descending multiset, and
  // the other {@code final} reference.
  @Override
  public SortedMultiset<E> descendingMultiset() {
    UnmodifiableSortedMultiset<E> result = descendingMultiset;
    if (result == null) {

# Request Parameters

Here's the reference information for the request parameters.

These are the special functions that you can put in *path operation function* parameters or dependency functions with `Annotated` to get data from the request.

It includes:

* `Query()`
* `Path()`
* `Body()`
* `Cookie()`
* `Header()`
* `Form()`
* `File()`

You can import them all directly from `fastapi`:
