You can help with everything on [Help FastAPI - Get Help](./help-fastapi.md){.internal-link target=_blank} the same ways as external contributors. But additionally, there are some tasks that only you (as part of the team) can perform.

Here are the general instructions for the tasks you can perform.

Thanks a lot for your help. 🙇

## Be Nice

First of all, be nice. 😊

Go 1.24 changed the behavior of `go test -json` to emit build errors as JSON
instead of text.
These new JSON events are distinguished by new `Action` values,
but can still cause problems with CI systems that aren't robust to these events.
This behavior can be controlled with the `gotestjsonbuildtext` setting.
Using `gotestjsonbuildtext=1` restores the 1.23 behavior.
This setting will be removed in a future release, Go 1.28 at the earliest.

MinIO supports two ways of encrypting IAM and configuration data.
You can either use KES - together with an external KMS - or, much simpler,
set the env. variable `MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY` and start/restart the MinIO server. For more details about KES and how
to set it up refer to our [KMS Guide](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/kms/README.md).

Instead of configuring an external KMS you can start with a single key by

You can use the same dependency *functions* you use normally.

### Dependency requirements { #dependency-requirements }

They can declare request requirements (like headers) or other sub-dependencies:

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial006_an_py39.py hl[8,13] *}

### Raise exceptions { #raise-exceptions }

These dependencies can `raise` exceptions, the same as normal dependencies:

`@lru_cache` is part of `functools` which is part of Python's standard library, you can read more about it in the <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html#functools.lru_cache" class="external-link" target="_blank">Python docs for `@lru_cache`</a>.

## Recap { #recap }

# `Response` class

You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency to be of type `Response` and then you can set data for the response like headers or cookies.

You can also use it directly to create an instance of it and return it from your *path operations*.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import Response
```

/// warning

This is a more or less advanced section. If you are just starting, you can skip it.

You don't necessarily need OAuth2 scopes, and you can handle authentication and authorization however you want.

But OAuth2 with scopes can be nicely integrated into your API (with OpenAPI) and your API docs.

      value: >
        Comparing two approaches to a use case side by side can make it easier to examine the
        differences between them.


        Additionally, it's very useful to us if you can provide a "straw API" — what the
        method signatures would look like, for example, even if the method and class names are still
        in flux. This can make the feature you're suggesting much clearer to us.

## Learn More { #learn-more }

You can learn more about **GraphQL** in the <a href="https://graphql.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">official GraphQL documentation</a>.

Here is the reference for it and its parameters.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import Depends
```

::: fastapi.Depends

## `Security()`

For many scenarios, you can handle security (authorization, authentication, etc.) with dependencies, using `Depends()`.

But when you want to also declare OAuth2 scopes, you can use `Security()` instead of `Depends()`.
