I am attempting to get the key values after requesting json data from ajax POST. I succesfully retrieve the data, however I get the error: " AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'keys'".
I have attempted using json.load(data) however, this is also unsuccessful.
#app.route('/sendstats', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
#crossdomain(origin='*', headers='Content-Type')
def go():
data= request.get_json()
keys = sorted(data.keys())
.....
return "Search added"
Have you tried to use json.loads() (note the final s)?
When you set the request body in the first place, you might have put a unicode object there instead of str. this can happen for example if you call json.dumps twice on the same input (first time converts the dict to a str, second time converting it to unicode)

i'm having an issue while write codes for consume another API using Python + Flask + Requests.
their API using PHP with x-www-form-urlencoded instead of RAW JSON, here is my code :
app = Flask(__name__)
#app.route('/api/test/getinfo', methods=['POST'])
def get_house_info():
if request.method == 'POST':
try:
payloads = {'no_house':'001234123', 'cd_agent' : '01', 'nm_agent' : 'ABC'}
response_data = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data=payloads)
return response_data
except Exception as e:
return(str(e))
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', debug=True)
after that i run this flask and tried to call this endpoint using postman
but i received error Object of type Response is not JSON serializable is there something wrong in my codes ?
Try json.dumps() for payloads
python dictionary and json is not the same, refer to its usage here:
Note: Keys in key/value pairs of JSON are always of the type str. When a dictionary is converted into JSON, all the keys of the dictionary are coerced to strings. As a result of this, if a dictionary is converted into JSON and then back into a dictionary, the dictionary may not equal the original one. That is, loads(dumps(x)) != x if x has non-string keys. source
From python to json : json.dumps(x)
From json to python : json.loads(x)
So I've got a python google cloud function running from an HTTP trigger. For some reason I have to put in a parameter (myfakeinput) in order to trigger this function. I can't find any documentation to see what the function is actually and what formatting is required. I've tried adding in a second parameter but have had no success and get a 500 error with nothing in the issue log. I've also tried to return 'myfakeinput' but that also ends up causing a 500 error.
Does anyone know what the value of the parameter being passed in looks like or what its formatting is so I can actually pass in a parameter?
Thanks!
I would recommend you take a look at this documentation here.
from flask import escape
def hello_http(request):
"""HTTP Cloud Function.
Args:
request (flask.Request): The request object.
<http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/1.0/api/#flask.Request>
Returns:
The response text, or any set of values that can be turned into a
Response object using `make_response`
<http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/1.0/api/#flask.Flask.make_response>.
"""
request_json = request.get_json(silent=True)
request_args = request.args
if request_json and 'name' in request_json:
name = request_json['name']
elif request_args and 'name' in request_args:
name = request_args['name']
else:
name = 'World'
return 'Hello {}!'.format(escape(name))
So "flask" make available to your code the object "request". In the above code, a list of the arguments is then extracted from the object and put into the variable "request_args".
request_json = request.get_json(silent=True)
request_args = request.args
Hope this helps,

I'm writing a very simple demo webapp, and I can't seem to pass a json object from js to python using ajax.
I've tried a number of suggestions from people on so with similar problems, such as using .get_json() instead of .json, passing the object without using JSON.stringify in the javascript, etc.
Any idea what piece I'm missing here?
Javascript
var run_method = function(){
var data1 = {"word":"hello"}
console.log("Before " + data1);
$.ajax({
url : "/examplemethod",
type : "POST",
data : data1//JSON.stringify(data1)
})
.done(function(data){
var data = JSON.parse(data);
console.log(data);
});
}
Python
#app.route("/examplemethod", methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def example_method():
global data
if request.method == 'POST':
print request
data = request.json
print "data", data
return "after "+ data["word"]
Every variation I have tried of this gives a 500 Error, and
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getitem'
Obviously, that is because data is supposed to be an dictionary/json, not None. But how to I get it to return as a dictionary?
Because you are not sending JSON, to the flask app (see this and this). Your current code results in a standard urlencoded form post. Which in turn results in an entry being populated in request.form
request.form.get('word')
Switch to a json post as per the guidelines in the above Q&As to access the data through request.json.
the data is likely not flowing to json if you are getting None, so you should jsonify the data. It will be coming in in the form of form.
from flask import jsonify
#app.route("/examplemethod", methods=['POST'])
def example_method():
data = jsonify(request.form).json
print(data) #will be in the form a json dict
return data['foo-key'] #can retrieve specific items with their key-pairs
I am using Ajax to make some requests from client to server, I am using DJango and I have used some Raw Sql queries before, but all of my fields was Int, varchar and a Decimal, for the last one I had an enconding problem, but I overrided the "default" property of Json and everything worked.
But that was before, now I have a query wich gives me Decimal and DateTime fields, both of them gave me enconding errors, the overrided "default" doesn't work now, thats why with this new one I used DjangoJSONEncoder, but now I have another problem, and its not an encoding one, I am using dictfetchall(cursor) method, recomended on Django docs, to return a dictionary from the Sql query, because cursor.fetchall() gives me this error: 'tuple' object has no attribute '_meta'.
Before I just sended that dictionary to json.dumps(response_data,default=default) and everything was fine, but now for the encoding I have to use the following: json.dumps(response_data,cls=DjangoJSONEncoder) and if I send the dictionary in that way, I get this error:
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
And if I try to use the serializers, like this:
response_data2= serializers.serialize('json', list(response_data))
And later send response_data2 to dumps, I get this error:
'dict' object has no attribute '_meta'
This is the code for the MySql query:
def consulta_sql_personalizada(nombres,apellidos,puesto):
from django.db import connection, transaction
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("""select E.idEmpleado as id,CONCAT(Per.nombres_persona,' ',Per.apellidos_persona) as nombre,P.nombre_puesto as puesto,E.motivo_baja_empleado as motivo_baja,E.fecha_contratacion_empleado AS fecha_contratacion,E.fecha_baja_empleado as fecha_baja, SUM(V.total_venta) AS ventas_mes,E.fotografia_empleado as ruta_fotografia from Empleado as E
inner join Puesto as P on E.Puesto_idPuesto=P.idPuesto
inner join Venta as V on V.vendedor_venta=E.idEmpleado
inner join Persona as Per on E.Persona_idPersona=Per.idPersona
where (Per.nombres_persona like %s OR Per.apellidos_persona like %s OR E.Puesto_idPuesto=%s)
AND E.estado_empleado=1 AND V.estado_venta=1
AND
(YEAR(V.fecha_venta) = YEAR(Now())
AND MONTH(V.fecha_venta) = MONTH(Now()))""",[nombres,apellidos,puesto])
row = dictfetchall(cursor)
return row
And this is the last part of the view that makes the query and send it to ajax using json:
response_data=consulta_sql_personalizada(rec_nombres,rec_apellidos,rec_puesto)
return HttpResponse(
json.dumps(response_data,cls=DjangoJSONEncoder),
content_type="application/json"
)
else:
return HttpResponse(
json.dumps({"nothing to see": "this isn't happening"}),
content_type="application/json"
)
What I want to know is, how can I parse the raw sql result to Json using that enconding?
Sorry, was my bad, i'm using JQuery ajax method, and in the "success" part I forgot to stop using json.parse to print the data in the console, the data was json already, that's why I had that line 1 column 1 error. My code worked exactly like it was posted here. If someone want to know how to make asynchronous requests, I followed this tutorial: Django form submissions using ajax
In order to test a Flask application, I got a flask test client POSTing request with files as attachment
def make_tst_client_service_call1(service_path, method, **kwargs):
_content_type = kwargs.get('content-type','multipart/form-data')
with app.test_client() as client:
return client.open(service_path, method=method,
content_type=_content_type, buffered=True,
follow_redirects=True,**kwargs)
def _publish_a_model(model_name, pom_env):
service_url = u'/publish/'
scc.data['modelname'] = model_name
scc.data['username'] = "BDD Script"
scc.data['instance'] = "BDD Stub Simulation"
scc.data['timestamp'] = datetime.now().strftime('%d-%m-%YT%H:%M')
scc.data['file'] = (open(file_path, 'rb'),file_name)
scc.response = make_tst_client_service_call1(service_url, method, data=scc.data)
Flask Server end point code which handles the above POST request is something like this
#app.route("/publish/", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def publish():
if request.method == 'POST':
LOG.debug("Publish POST Service is called...")
upload_files = request.files.getlist("file[]")
print "Files :\n",request.files
print "Upload Files:\n",upload_files
return render_response_template()
I get this Output
Files:
ImmutableMultiDict([('file', <FileStorage: u'Single_XML.xml' ('application/xml')>)])
Upload Files:
[]
If I change
scc.data['file'] = (open(file_path, 'rb'),file_name)
into (thinking that it would handle multiple files)
scc.data['file'] = [(open(file_path, 'rb'),file_name),(open(file_path, 'rb'),file_name1)]
I still get similar Output:
Files:
ImmutableMultiDict([('file', <FileStorage: u'Single_XML.xml' ('application/xml')>), ('file', <FileStorage: u'Second_XML.xml' ('application/xml')>)])
Upload Files:
[]
Question:
Why request.files.getlist("file[]") is returning an empty list?
How can I post multiple files using flask test client, so that it can be retrieved using request.files.getlist("file[]") at flask server side ?
Note:
I would like to have flask client I dont want curl or any other client based solutions.
I dont want to post single file in multiple requests
Thanks
Referred these links already:
Flask and Werkzeug: Testing a post request with custom headers
Python - What type is flask.request.files.stream supposed to be?
You send the files as the parameter named file, so you can't look them up with the name file[]. If you want to get all the files named file as a list, you should use this:
upload_files = request.files.getlist("file")
On the other hand, if you really want to read them from file[], then you need to send them like that:
scc.data['file[]'] = # ...
(The file[] syntax is from PHP and it's used only on the client side. When you send the parameters named like that to the server, you still access them using $_FILES['file'].)
Lukas already addressed this,just providing these info as it may help someone
Werkzeug client is doing some clever stuff by storing requests data in MultiDict
#native_itermethods(['keys', 'values', 'items', 'lists', 'listvalues'])
class MultiDict(TypeConversionDict):
"""A :class:`MultiDict` is a dictionary subclass customized to deal with
multiple values for the same key which is for example used by the parsing
functions in the wrappers. This is necessary because some HTML form
elements pass multiple values for the same key.
:class:`MultiDict` implements all standard dictionary methods.
Internally, it saves all values for a key as a list, but the standard dict
access methods will only return the first value for a key. If you want to
gain access to the other values, too, you have to use the `list` methods as
explained below.
getList call looks for a given key in the "requests" dictionary. If the key doesn't exist, it returns empty list.
def getlist(self, key, type=None):
"""Return the list of items for a given key. If that key is not in the
`MultiDict`, the return value will be an empty list. Just as `get`
`getlist` accepts a `type` parameter. All items will be converted

:param key: The key to be looked up.
:param type: A callable that is used to cast the value in the

by this callable the value will be removed from the list.
