# FastAPI – Advanced Query Parameters (`Query`)
|
||||
|
||||
This document demonstrates how to configure **query parameters** in FastAPI using `Query()` to add:
|
||||
|
||||
* Aliases
|
||||
* Descriptions (for API documentation)
|
||||
* Deprecation warnings
|
||||
* Validation and metadata
|
||||
|
||||
It also shows how these configurations appear in the **OpenAPI / Swagger UI**.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Example Application
|
||||
|
||||
Create or update `main.py` with the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from fastapi import FastAPI, Query, status
|
||||
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse
|
||||
|
||||
app = FastAPI()
|
||||
|
||||
users_db = [
|
||||
{"id": "1", "name": "radin"}
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@app.get("/user/")
|
||||
def get_user_deprecated(
|
||||
target: int | None = Query(
|
||||
default=None,
|
||||
alias="User ID",
|
||||
description="Enter target unique ID",
|
||||
deprecated=True,
|
||||
)
|
||||
):
|
||||
for item in users_db:
|
||||
if int(item["id"]) == target:
|
||||
return JSONResponse(
|
||||
content={"msg": f"Your target user name is {item['name']}"},
|
||||
status_code=status.HTTP_200_OK,
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
return JSONResponse(
|
||||
content={"msg": "user not found"},
|
||||
status_code=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND,
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@app.get("/user")
|
||||
def get_user(
|
||||
target: int | None = Query(
|
||||
default=None,
|
||||
alias="User ID",
|
||||
description="Enter target unique ID",
|
||||
)
|
||||
):
|
||||
for item in users_db:
|
||||
if item["id"] == str(target):
|
||||
return JSONResponse(
|
||||
content={"msg": f"Your target user name is {item['name']}"},
|
||||
status_code=status.HTTP_200_OK,
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
return JSONResponse(
|
||||
content={"msg": "user not found"},
|
||||
status_code=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND,
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Query Parameter Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### `Query()` Parameters Used
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
Query(
|
||||
default=None,
|
||||
alias="User ID",
|
||||
description="Enter target unique ID",
|
||||
deprecated=True
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Parameter | Purpose |
|
||||
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `default` | Makes the query parameter optional |
|
||||
| `alias` | Changes the query parameter name in the URL |
|
||||
| `description` | Appears in Swagger UI documentation |
|
||||
| `deprecated` | Marks the parameter as deprecated |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Requests
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Alias in Query String
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /user?User%20ID=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Endpoint Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
### Deprecated Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /user/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Query parameter is marked as **deprecated**
|
||||
* Swagger UI displays a warning
|
||||
* Useful for backward compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Active Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /user
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Uses the same alias and description
|
||||
* Recommended for active usage
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Response Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Success Response
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"msg": "Your target user name is radin"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Status Code: **200 OK**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Failure Response
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"msg": "user not found"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Status Code: **404 Not Found**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Swagger / OpenAPI Integration
|
||||
|
||||
* Alias appears as the query parameter name
|
||||
* Description is visible in API docs
|
||||
* Deprecated parameters are clearly marked
|
||||
* Improves API discoverability and usability
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Running the Application
|
||||
|
||||
Start the service using `uvicorn`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
uvicorn main:app --reload
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
* Use `Query()` for validation and documentation
|
||||
* Avoid spaces in aliases for production APIs
|
||||
* Deprecate parameters instead of removing them
|
||||
* Keep backward compatibility during API evolution
|
||||
* Prefer consistent parameter naming
|
||||
* Use response models instead of manual `JSONResponse` when possible

|
||||
|
||||
## Example Application
|
||||
|
||||
Create or update `main.py` with the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from fastapi import FastAPI, Query, Path, status
|
||||
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse
|
||||
|
||||
app = FastAPI()
|
||||
|
||||
users_db = [
|
||||
{"id": "1", "name": "radin"}
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
|

|
||||
)
|
||||
):
|
||||
for item in users_db:
|
||||
if item["id"] == str(target):
|
||||
return JSONResponse(
|
||||
content={"msg": f"Your target user name is {item['name']}"},
|
||||
status_code=status.HTTP_200_OK,
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
return JSONResponse(
|
||||
content={"msg": "user not found"},
|
||||
status_code=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND,
|
||||
)
|
||||
```

||||
|
||||
## Path Parameter Example
|
||||
|
||||
### Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /user/{target_id}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Request:**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
* Always required
|
||||
* Defined as part of the route
|
||||
* Used to identify a specific resource
|
||||
* Missing value results in **404 Not Found**

|
||||
|
||||
## Query Parameter Example
|
||||
|
||||
### Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /user?User%20ID=1
|
||||
```

|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Parameter Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### `Path()` Example
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
Path(
|
||||
...,
|
||||
alias="User ID",
|
||||
description="Enter target unique ID",
|
||||
deprecated=True
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* `...` → parameter is required
|
||||
* `alias` → custom name in documentation and URL
|
||||
* `description` → shown in Swagger UI

alias="User ID",
|
||||
description="Enter target unique ID"
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* `gt=0` → value must be greater than zero
|
||||
* Optional parameter with validation rules
|
||||
* Appears in API documentation
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Path vs Query Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Path Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
**What they are**
|
||||
Values embedded directly in the URL path that identify a specific resource.
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use**
|
||||
When the parameter is mandatory and uniquely identifies a resource.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example URL**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/users/42
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**FastAPI Example**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
@app.get("/users/{user_id}")
|
||||
def get_user(user_id: int):
|
||||
return {"user_id": user_id}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Points**
|
||||
|
||||
* Always required
|
||||
* Part of the route definition
|
||||
* Used for IDs and unique identifiers
|
||||
* Missing value → 404 error
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Query Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
**What they are**
|
||||
Key-value pairs appended to the URL after `?`.
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use**
|
||||
For optional filtering, searching, sorting, and pagination.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example URL**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/users?limit=10&active=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**FastAPI Example**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
@app.get("/users")
|
||||
def list_users(limit: int = 10, active: bool = True):
|
||||
return {"limit": limit, "active": active}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Points**
|
||||
|
||||
* Optional by default
|
||||
* Not part of the route path
|
||||
* Used to modify or filter results
|
||||
* Defaults are used when missing
|
||||

|
||||
## Side-by-Side Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Path Parameter | Query Parameter |
|
||||
| ------------- | ------------------- | --------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Location | Inside URL path | After `?` |
|
||||
| Required | Yes | No (by default) |
|
||||
| Purpose | Identify a resource | Filter or modify results |
|
||||
| Example | `/items/5` | `/items?limit=10` |
|
||||
| Missing Value | 404 Not Found | Default value or validation error |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
* Use path parameters for resource identification
|
||||
* Use query parameters for filtering and modifiers
|
||||
* Avoid spaces in parameter aliases for production APIs
|
||||
* Deprecate parameters instead of removing them
|
||||
* Use validation (`gt`, `lt`, `regex`) for safer APIs
|
||||
* Keep URL design consistent across services
|
||||
* Prefer response models over manual JSON responses when possible
