Flask get Post data code example

Example 1: post request in python flaks

import json
import requests

api_url = 'http://localhost:5000/create-row-in-gs'
create_row_data = {'id': '1235','name':'Joel','created_on':'27/01/2018','modified_on':'27/01/2018','desc':'This is Joel!!'}
print(create_row_data)
r = requests.post(url=api_url, json=create_row_data)
print(r.status_code, r.reason, r.text)
Server:

from flask import Flask,jsonify,request,make_response,url_for,redirect
import requests, json

app = Flask(__name__)

url = 'https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/xxxxx/yyyyy/'

@app.route('/create-row-in-gs', methods=['GET','POST'])
def create_row_in_gs():
    if request.method == 'GET':
        return make_response('failure')
    if request.method == 'POST':
        t_id = request.json['id']
        t_name = request.json['name']
        created_on = request.json['created_on']
        modified_on = request.json['modified_on']
        desc = request.json['desc']

        create_row_data = {'id': str(t_id),'name':str(t_name),'created-on':str(created_on),'modified-on':str(modified_on),'desc':str(desc)}

        response = requests.post(
            url, data=json.dumps(create_row_data),
            headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
        )
        return response.content

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='localhost',debug=False, use_reloader=True)

Example 2: get post request data flask

@app.route('/form-example', methods=['GET', 'POST']) #allow both GET and POST requests
def form_example():
    if request.method == 'POST':  #this block is only entered when the form is submitted
        language = request.form.get('language')
        framework = request.form['framework']

        return '''<h1>The language value is: {}</h1>
                  <h1>The framework value is: {}</h1>'''.format(language, framework)

    return '''<form method="POST">
                  Language: <input type="text" name="language"><br>
                  Framework: <input type="text" name="framework"><br>
                  <input type="submit" value="Submit"><br>
              </form>'''

Example 3: get requests method flask

import flask
app = flask.Flask('your_flask_env')

@app.route('/register', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def register():
    if flask.request.method == 'POST':
        username = flask.request.values.get('user') # Your form's
        password = flask.request.values.get('pass') # input names
        your_register_routine(username, password)
    else:
        # You probably don't have args at this route with GET
        # method, but if you do, you can access them like so:
        yourarg = flask.request.args.get('argname')
        your_register_template_rendering(yourarg)

Example 4: 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.
