Get the data received in a Flask request

In a Flask application, you can access the data received in a request using the request object. Here is an example of how to retrieve the data from a POST request:

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
def receive_data():
    data = request.data
    # Do something with the data
    return "Data Received"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

In this example, the request.data attribute is used to access the raw data sent in the request body. Additionally, you can access the data sent in the query string or as form data using request.args and request.form, respectively.

Also, If you want to access JSON data in the request, you can use request.get_json()

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
def receive_data():
    data = request.get_json()
    # Do something with the data
    return "Data Received"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

This will parse the JSON data in the request body and return it as a Python dictionary.
