# Additional Status Codes { #additional-status-codes }
|
|
|
|
By default, **FastAPI** will return the responses using a `JSONResponse`, putting the content you return from your *path operation* inside of that `JSONResponse`.
|
|
|
|
It will use the default status code or the one you set in your *path operation*.
|
|
|
|
## Additional status codes { #additional-status-codes_1 }
|
|
|
|
If you want to return additional status codes apart from the main one, you can do that by returning a `Response` directly, like a `JSONResponse`, and set the additional status code directly.
|
|
|
|
For example, let's say that you want to have a *path operation* that allows to update items, and returns HTTP status codes of 200 "OK" when successful.
|
|
|
|
But you also want it to accept new items. And when the items didn't exist before, it creates them, and returns an HTTP status code of 201 "Created".
|
|
|
|
To achieve that, import `JSONResponse`, and return your content there directly, setting the `status_code` that you want:
|
|
|
|
{* ../../docs_src/additional_status_codes/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[4,25] *}
|
|
|
|
/// warning
|
|
|
|
When you return a `Response` directly, like in the example above, it will be returned directly.
|
|
|
|
It won't be serialized with a model, etc.
|
|
|
|
Make sure it has the data you want it to have, and that the values are valid JSON (if you are using `JSONResponse`).
|
|

|
|
You could also use `from starlette.responses import JSONResponse`.
|
|
|
|
**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. The same with `status`.
|

## OpenAPI and API docs { #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.
|
|
|
|
But you can document that in your code, using: [Additional Responses](additional-responses.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.
