Flask Framework Cookbook - Second Edition

A simple GET/POST request

An amalgamation of both GET and POST into a single view function can be written as shown below:

@app.route('/a-request', methods=['GET', 'POST']) 
def some_request(): 
    if request.method == 'GET': 
        bar = request.args.get('foo', 'bar') 
    else: 
        bar = request.form.get('foo', 'bar') 
    return 'A simple Flask request where foo is %s' % bar
