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()
