flask_request_notes.txt

from flask import request
request.view_args
    @app.route("/data/<section>")
    def data(section):
        assert section == request.view_args['section']

For URL Query parameter, use request.args
    search = request.args.get("search")
    page = request.args.get("page")

For Form input, use request.form
    email = request.form.get('email')
    password = request.form.get('password')

For data type application/json, use request.data
    # data in string format and you have to parse into dictionary
    data = request.data
    dataDict = json.loads(data)
