how-to retrieve the data (body) in aiohttp server from requests.get

[nskalis]

hi guys,

could you please advise on the following ?

Long story short

on the localhost:8900 there is aiohttp server running

Expected behaviour

when i do a request like (using the python2 module requests) from ipython

requests.get("http://127.0.01:8900/api/bgp/show-route", data={'topo':"switzerland", 'pop':"zrh", 'prefix':"1.1.1.1/32"})

Actual behaviour

and there is a route defined in the aiohttp server

app.router.add_route("GET", "/api/bgp/show-route", api_bgp_show_route)

which is being handled like

def api_bgp_show_route(request):
      pass

Steps to reproduce

the question is: how do i retrieve on server-side the data part of the request ?
meaning

{'topo':"switzerland", 'pop':"zrh", 'prefix':"1.1.1.1/32"}

Does the following snippet solve solve your needs?

def api_bgp_show_route(request):
      data = await request.post()
      assert data == {'topo':"switzerland", 'pop':"zrh", 'prefix':"1.1.1.1/32"}

thanks Andrew
but.. len(data) equals to 0
when i do the same request to a flask app i do not have any issues getting the data

[asvetlov]

Aahh. Got your problem.
Why do you use GET request with data? Technically it's possible but highly
discouraged.

Also sorry for misleading answer.
In your case you might use await request.json().
