# Background Tasks - `BackgroundTasks`

You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency function with the type `BackgroundTasks`, and then you can use it to schedule the execution of background tasks after the response is sent.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks
```

You will learn more about adding extra information later in the docs, when learning to declare examples.

/// warning

Extra keys passed to `Field` will also be present in the resulting OpenAPI schema for your application.

But you can also declare the `Response` that you want to be used (e.g. any `Response` subclass), in the *path operation decorator* using the `response_class` parameter.

The contents that you return from your *path operation function* will be put inside of that `Response`.

Declare the **cookie** parameters that you need in a **Pydantic model**, and then declare the parameter as `Cookie`:

{* ../../docs_src/cookie_param_models/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[9:12,16] *}

**FastAPI** will **extract** the data for **each field** from the **cookies** received in the request and give you the Pydantic model you defined.

- Now click on the new project you just created. The URL should be `https://builds.gradle.org/admin/editProject.html?projectId=Gradle_<MyTestBranch>`.
- Click `Versioned Settings` on the left sidebar.
  - Select `Synchronization enabled` - `use settings from VCS` - `MyNewVcsRoot`(the one you just created) - `Settings format: Kotlin`, then `Apply`.
- At the popup window, click `Import Settings from VCS`. Wait a few seconds. 

# `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
```
