**FastAPI** provides several tools to help you deal with **Security** easily, rapidly, in a standard way, without having to study and learn all the security specifications.

But first, let's check some small concepts.

## In a hurry? { #in-a-hurry }

If you don't care about any of these terms and you just need to add security with authentication based on username and password *right now*, skip to the next chapters.

       * TODO(b/112550045): Allocating a single, cheaper listener is (I think) only an optimization.
       * If we make some other optimizations, this one will no longer be necessary. The optimization
       * could actually hurt in some cases, as it forces us to keep all inputs in memory until the
       * final input completes.

**projects depend on**. That's very difficult to manage. And you would probably end up running some projects with some **incompatible versions** of the packages, and not knowing why something isn't working.

Also, depending on your operating system (e.g. Linux, Windows, macOS), it could have come with Python already installed. And in that case it probably had some packages pre-installed with some specific versions **needed by your system**. If you install packages in the global Python environment,...

Let's imagine that we want to have a dependency that checks if the query parameter `q` contains some fixed content.

But we want to be able to parameterize that fixed content.

## A "callable" instance { #a-callable-instance }

In Python there's a way to make an instance of a class a "callable".

     * @param tc the CIFS context containing credentials
     * @throws CIFSException if an error occurs during authentication
     * @deprecated functionality is broken and will be removed at some point,
     *             use actual Active Directory authentication instead
     */
    @Deprecated
    void logon(CIFSContext tc, Address dc) throws CIFSException;

Some time ago, <a href="https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/issues/3#issuecomment-454956920" class="external-link" target="_blank">a **FastAPI** user asked</a>:

Here's a little bit of that history.

## Alternatives { #alternatives }

```

...this would work:

```JSON
{
    "item_id": "foo-item",
    "needy": "sooooneedy"
}
```

And of course, you can define some parameters as required, some as having a default value, and some entirely optional:

{* ../../docs_src/query_params/tutorial006_py310.py hl[8] *}

In this case, there are 3 query parameters:

* `needy`, a required `str`.
