You can also declare the `Response` parameter in dependencies, and set cookies (and headers) in them.

## Return a `Response` directly { #return-a-response-directly }

You can also create cookies when returning a `Response` directly in your code.

To do that, you can create a response as described in [Return a Response Directly](response-directly.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

Then set Cookies in it, and then return it:

To achieve that, import `JSONResponse`, and return your content there directly, setting the `status_code` that you want:

{* ../../docs_src/additional_status_codes/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[4,25] *}

/// warning

When you return a `Response` directly, like in the example above, it will be returned directly.

It won't be serialized with a model, etc.

By default, **FastAPI** will return the responses using `JSONResponse`.

You can override it by returning a `Response` directly as seen in [Return a Response directly](response-directly.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

# `Request` class

You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency to be of type `Request` and then you can access the raw request object directly, without any validation, etc.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import Request
```

/// tip

You can also declare the `Response` parameter in dependencies, and set headers (and cookies) in them.

## Return a `Response` directly { #return-a-response-directly }

You can also add headers when you return a `Response` directly.

Create a response as described in [Return a Response Directly](response-directly.md){.internal-link target=_blank} and pass the headers as an additional parameter:
