In some cases, you may want to override the logic used by the `Request` and `APIRoute` classes.

In particular, this may be a good alternative to logic in a middleware.

For example, if you want to read or manipulate the request body before it is processed by your application.

This is an "advanced" feature.

If you are just starting with **FastAPI** you might want to skip this section.

    The HTTP authorization header value is split by the first space.

    The first part is the `scheme`, the second part is the `credentials`.

    For example, in an HTTP Bearer token scheme, the client will send a header
    like:

    ```
    Authorization: Bearer deadbeef12346
    ```

    In this case:

    * `scheme` will have the value `"Bearer"`

**FastAPI** allows you to declare additional information and validation for your parameters.

Let's take this application as example:

## Use Case { #use-case }

Let's start with an example **use case** and then see how to solve it with this.

Let's imagine that you have some **machine learning models** that you want to use to handle requests. 🤖
