How can I get the named parameters from a URL using Flask

Question

When the user accesses this URL running on my flask app  I want the web service to be able to handle the parameters specified after the question mark   http   10 1 1 1 5000 login username alex amp password pw1   I just want to be able to manipulate the parameters  app route   login   methods   GET    POST    def login        username   request form  username       print username      password   request form  password       print password

The URL parameters are available in request args  which is an ImmutableMultiDict that has a get method  with optional parameters for default value  default  and type  type  - which is a callable that converts the input value to the desired format   See the documentation of the method for more details    from flask import request   app route   my-route   def my route      page   request args get  page   default   1  type   int    filter   request args get  filter   default        type   str    Examples with the code above    my-route page 34               - gt  page  34  filter       my-route                       - gt  page   1  filter       my-route page 10 amp filter test   - gt  page  10  filter   test   my-route page 10 amp filter 10     - gt  page  10  filter   10   my-route page   amp filter         - gt  page   1  filter

You can also use brackets  lt   on the URL of the view definition and this input will go into your view function arguments   app route    lt name gt    def my view func name       return name

It s really simple  Let me divide this process into two simple steps   On the html template you will declare name attribute for username and password like this    lt form method  quot POST quot  gt   lt input type  quot text quot  name  quot user name quot  gt  lt  input gt   lt input type  quot text quot  name  quot password quot  gt  lt  input gt   lt  form gt    Then  modify your code like this   from flask import request   app route   my-route   methods   POST      you should always parse username and    password in a POST method not GET def my route        username   request form get  quot user name quot       print username      password   request form get  quot password quot       print password       now manipulate the username and password variables as you wish      Tip  define another method instead of methods   GET   POST    if you want to         render the same template with a GET request too

If you have a single argument passed in the URL you can do it as follows  from flask import request  url http   10 1 1 1 5000 login alex  from flask import request  app route   login  lt username gt    methods   GET    def login username       print username    In case you have multiple parameters    url http   10 1 1 1 5000 login username alex amp password pw1  from flask import request  app route   login   methods   GET        def login            username   request args get  username           print username          password  request args get  password           print password    What you were trying to do works in case of POST requests where parameters are passed as form parameters and do not appear in the URL  In case you are actually developing a login API  it is advisable you use POST request rather than GET and expose the data to the user   In case of post request  it would work as follows    url http   10 1 1 1 5000 login   HTML snippet    lt form action  http   10 1 1 1 5000 login  method  POST  gt    Username    lt input type  text  name  username  gt  lt br gt    Password    lt input type  password  name  password  gt  lt br gt     lt input type  submit  value  submit  gt   lt  form gt    Route   from flask import request  app route   login   methods   POST        def login            username   request form get  username           print username          password  request form get  password           print password
