The query string is the part of a request following the URL, preceded by a ? mark.
Example: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=stack%20overflow
For this example, we are making a simple echo webserver that echos back everything submitted to it via the echo field in GET requests.
Example: localhost:5000/echo?echo=echo+this+back+to+me
Flask Example:
from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(import_name=__name__)
@app.route("/echo")
def echo():
to_echo = request.args.get("echo", "")
response = "{}".format(to_echo)
return response
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
