flask rest pass parameter code example

Example 1: flask api with parameter

args = request.args
print (args) # For debugging
no1 = args['key1']
no2 = args['key2']
return jsonify(dict(data=[no1, no2])) # or whatever is required

Example 2: flask restful arguments in url

from flask import Flask, request
from flask_restful import Api, Resource

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

# Flask mishandles boolean as string
TRUTHY = ['true', 'True', 'yes']

class Item(Resource):
   def get():
      # Get `class` list from request args
      classes = request.args.getlist('class') 

      # Get `analysis` boolean from request args
      analysis = True if request.args.get('analysis') in TRUTHY else False

api.add_resource(Item, '/item')
