How to obtain values of parameters of get request in flask?

Question

The answer that I found on the web is to use request.args.get. However, I cannot manage it to work. I have the following simple example:

from fl         


        

Answer 1

The simple answer is you have not imported the request global object from the flask package.

from flask import Flask, request

This is easy to determine yourself by running the development server in debug mode by doing

app.run(debug=True)

This will give you a stacktrace including:

print request.args['x']
NameError: global name 'request' is not defined
