How the get the request data in python that was sent by a nodeJS server using Bottle


How to get and print the data that was sent by a nodeJS in python?

I'm using ExpressJS in this nodeJs Module

app.use("/py/sendomodel",  function (req, res, next) {
     var oData = {
        "Test":"FirstData"
     }
    var options = {
        method: 'POST',
        data : oData,
        url: 'https://xxx.cfapps.us10.hana.ondemand.com/mprs/omodel',
        headers: {
            'cache-control': 'no-cache',
            /*'Content-Type' :'application/json',*/
            Connection: 'keep-alive',
            'accept-encoding': 'gzip, deflate',
            Host: 'xxxx.cfapps.us10.hana.ondemand.com',
            'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
            Accept: '*/*',
            'User-Agent': 'PostmanRuntime/7.15.0'
        }
    };
    return request(options, function (error, response,body,data) {
        if (error) throw new Error(error);
    });
});

Now I'm stuck here, how to print the data that was sent? Here is the python Module

from bottle import route, run, post, request, response
@route('/mprs/omodel', method='POST')
def profile():
    #I tried all these without any success , I want to print the oData that I have sent via nodeJs
    #request.body.read().decode('utf8')
    temp = request.body.read()
    #temp = request.json
    #sol = request.forms
    print(temp)   
    #jsonData = json.load(request.body)
    #return jsonData
    return(temp)

Solution

  • You have two separate things to look at, first is the query second your form data. I merge the two just in case. In your example, the body is empty. Since there is no actual HTML.

    from bottle import route, run, post, request, response
    
    def merge_dicts(*args):
        result = {}
        for dictionary in args:
            result.update(dictionary)
        return result
    
    @post('/mprs/omodel')
    def profile():
        payload = merge_dicts(dict(request.forms), dict(request.query.decode()))
        print(payload)
        print(payload['Test'])
        return payload
