flask request get data code example

Example 1: how to receive request in flask

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/foo', methods=['POST']) 
def foo():
    data = request.json
    return jsonify(data)

Example 2: get request body flask

request.args: the key/value pairs in the URL query string
request.form: the key/value pairs in the body, from a HTML post form, or JavaScript request that isn't JSON encoded
request.files: the files in the body, which Flask keeps separate from form. HTML forms must use enctype=multipart/form-data or files will not be uploaded.
request.values: combined args and form, preferring args if keys overlap
request.json: parsed JSON data. The request must have the application/json content type, or use request.get_json(force=True) to ignore the content type.
