+## `attr` -> `dataclass` for APIRequest models
+
+Models for **GET** requests, defining the path and query parameters, now uses python `dataclass` instead of `attr`.
+
+```python
+# before
+@attr.s
+class CollectionModel(APIRequest):
+    collections: Optional[str] = attr.ib(default=None, converter=str2list)
+
+# now
+@dataclass
+class CollectionModel(APIRequest):
+    collections: Annotated[Optional[str], Query()] = None
+
+    def __post_init__(self):
+        """convert attributes."""
+        if self.collections:
+            self.collections = str2list(self.collections)  # type: ignore
+
+```
+
+!!! warning
+
+    if you want to extend a class with a `required` attribute (without default), you will have to write all the attributes to avoid having *non-default* attributes defined after *default* attributes (ref: https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi/pull/714/files#r1651557338)
+
+    ```python
+    @dataclass
+    class A:
+        value: Annotated[str, Query()]
+
+    # THIS WON'T WORK
+    @dataclass
+    class B(A):
+        another_value: Annotated[str, Query(...)]
+
+    # DO THIS
+    @dataclass
+    class B(A):
+        another_value: Annotated[str, Query(...)]
+        value: Annotated[str, Query()]
+    ```

 ## Middlewares configuration
 
 The `StacApi.middlewares` attribute has been updated to accept a list of `starlette.middleware.Middleware`. This enables dynamic configuration of middlewares (see https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi/pull/442).
