#### In Flask, We Access HTTP Requests With The `request` Class

`http://127.0.0.1:5000/hello?name=Brady`

```python
from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/hello')
def hello():
name = request.args.get('name')
return "Hello, " + name

app.run()
```

**Notice that request.args is a dictionary! Remember those?**

```python
my_dictionary = {"name": "Brady"}
```

---

#### Request looks like this

#### Working With Multiple Arguments

<span class="centered">
<img src="assets/Query Param Example.png" />
</span>

```python

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/hello')
def hello():
return "Here are all your args:" + str(request.args)

app.run()
```

**Looks similar to**

```python
my_dictionary = {"name": "Brady", "age": 31, "city": "Salt Lake City"}
```

---

#### Handling User Input with Query Parameters

```python
from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/greet')
def greet():
name = request.args.get('name')
if name:
return "Hello, " + {name}
else:
return 'Please enter your name.'

app.run()
```

---

#### Query parameters are Often Used to Filter, Sort or Search For Data

```python

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

# A list of data in JSON format
people = [
{"name": "Brady", "age": 31},
{"name": "Marcos", "age": 31},
{"name": "Nephi", "age": "??"},
]

# A route that filters the data by a 'name' query parameter
@app.route('/people')
def filter_people():
# Get the 'name' query parameter from the URL
name = request.args.get('name')

if name is None:
return str(people)

# Filter the data by name, if name is provided, using a loop
filtered_people = []
for person in people:
if person['name'] == name:
filtered_people.append(person)


return str(filtered_people)

app.run(debug=True)

# http://localhost:5000/people?name=John
```
