How do i get the url parameter in a Flask view

Question

I know it's very simple but i'm trying since an hour to get the url parameters:

www.domain.com/?f=x**2

How do i get x**2 from the url in a Flask view?

Regarding that question you just deleted: You could use a regular expression, and replace ([a-z]|\d+)(?=[a-z]|\d+) with \1*. That would work for variables. — minitech♦, Dec 26 '12 at 15:45

I believe that you can retrieve query string variables using

request.args.get('myParam')

or

request.args['myParam']

Where myParam is the variable in the query string you're trying to receive.

and if you want to set a default value... request.args.get('myParam', 'myDefaultValue') – seafangs Aug 22 at 21:49
