Flask not getting any data from jQuery request data

Question

I\'ve a handler for a URL,

@app.route(\"/\", methods=[\'POST\'])
@crossdomain(origin=\'*\')
def hello():
    ss=str(request.data)
    print ss
    return ss
         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me.

In Javascript:

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: "enter your correct url",
  contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
  data: JSON.stringify({title: 'My Title', article: 'My article'}),
  success: function(result){
    console.log(result)
  }
});

In Python (flask):

 from flask import request
 import json

 @app.route("/", methods=['POST'])
 def home():
   json_data = json.loads(request.data)
   print(json_data)
   return json_data

NOTE: The points are;

• JSON.stringify()
• contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8"
• json.loads
• request.data
