## OpenAPI and API docs

If you return additional status codes and responses directly, they won't be included in the OpenAPI schema (the API docs), because FastAPI doesn't have a way to know beforehand what you are going to return.

		if tc.shouldPass && err != nil {
			t.Fatalf("Test case %d: Expected to succeed but got %s", i+1, err)
		}

		if !tc.shouldPass {
			if err == nil || err != nil && err.Error() != tc.expectedErr.Error() {
				t.Fatalf("Test case %d: Expected %s but got %s", i+1, tc.expectedErr, err)
			}
		}
	}

But in some cases you need to return a different status code than the default.

## Use case

For example, imagine that you want to return an HTTP status code of "OK" `200` by default.

But if the data didn't exist, you want to create it, and return an HTTP status code of "CREATED" `201`.

And you don't need to declare anything else for that parameter, so you don't really need to use `Query`.

But you still need to use `Path` for the `item_id` path parameter. And you don't want to use `Annotated` for some reason.

Python will complain if you put a value with a "default" before a value that doesn't have a "default".

But you can re-order them, and have the value without a default (the query parameter `q`) first.

{* ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial001.py hl[2] *}

### Edit it

It's a very simple program.

But now imagine that you were writing it from scratch.

At some point you would have started the definition of the function, you had the parameters ready...

But then you have to call "that method that converts the first letter to upper case".

Was it `upper`? Was it `uppercase`? `first_uppercase`? `capitalize`?

**FastAPI** provides the same `starlette.responses` as `fastapi.responses` just as a convenience for you, the developer. But most of the available responses come directly from Starlette.
