My program is built on flask-restful, i.e. for every url we have a class like this:
class TestAPI(Resource):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.__main_loop = kwargs['main_loop']
self.reqparse = reqparse.RequestParser()
self.reqparse.add_argument('testKey', type=str, required=True, help='No textKey provided', location='json')
super(TestAPI, self).__init__()
def get(self):
try:
logger.info("Test get")
return {"testAnswer": "Test Value"}
except Exception as e:
logger.error(e)
return e
def post(self):
try:
logger.info("Test post")
args = self.reqparse.parse_args()
logger.info("Items: " + str(args.items()))
return args
except Exception as e:
logger.error(e)
return e
which gets added like this:
self.__webserver_rest_api.add_resource(TestAPI, '/api/v1.0/test/', resource_class_kwargs=kwargs)
Everything is working fine, I get the parameters as expected, but I am not able to figure out how to access the cookies sent within the get or post request. I do not even know how to access the headers. I just can't find anything within the docs nor did I find any examples. All examples use the "normal API", where we have a proper request object.
For clarity: I do know how to set and create cookies and headers when building a response, that's no an issue here.
You can use the request object to get the headers and cookies
from flask import request
headers = request.headers
cookies = request.cookies
both of them return an dict.
