Depends

Declare a FastAPI dependency. It takes a single "dependable" callable (like a function). Don't call it directly, FastAPI will call it for you.

def Depends(
    dependency: Callable[..., Any] | None = None,
    use_cache: bool = True,
    scope: Literal["function", "request"] | None = None
) - > Any

Declare a FastAPI dependency. It takes a single "dependable" callable (like a function). Don't call it directly, FastAPI will call it for you.

Parameters​

NameTypeDescription
dependency`Callable[..., Any]None` = None
use_cachebool = TrueBy default, after a dependency is called the first time in a request, if the dependency is declared again for the rest of the request (for example if the dependency is needed by several dependencies), the value will be re-used for the rest of the request. Set use_cache to False to disable this behavior and ensure the dependency is called again (if declared more than once) in the same request.
scope`Literal["function", "request"]None` = None

Returns​
