# Using the Request Directly

Up to now, you have been declaring the parts of the request that you need with their types.

Taking data from:

* The path as parameters.
* Headers.
* Cookies.
* etc.

And by doing so, **FastAPI** is validating that data, converting it and generating documentation for your API automatically.

But there are situations where you might need to access the `Request` object directly.

Prefer to use the `Annotated` version if possible.

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

## Check the Docs

You can verify it in the docs UI at `/docs`:

    ImmutableTable.Builder<String, Integer, Character> builder = ImmutableTable.builder();

      builder.put((String) data[i], (Integer) data[i + 1], (Character) data[i + 2]);
