# nw_parameters_attribution_t

The entities that can make a network request.

```
enum nw_parameters_attribution_t
```

## Overview

Use one of these values when setting the `attribution` parameter of a network request with the [`nw_parameters_get_attribution(_:)`](/documentation/Network/nw_parameters_get_attribution(_:)) method. If you don’t set a value, the system assumes [`nw_parameters_attribution_t.developer`](/documentation/Network/nw_parameters_attribution_t/developer).

## Topics
