python flask read post data code example

Example 1: 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 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.
