I can't figure out how to access URL query parameters from a POST request in a Python Azure Function. I am locally testing the function on VSCode.
I've tried:
req.params.get('paramName') - it always is none
url = req.url
query_parameters = urllib.parse.parse_qs(url.query)
param = query_parameters.get('paramName', [None])[0]
I also tried os.environ as I saw somewhere that params are automatically set as environment variables for azure functions
I am able to get the query parameter using urllib and req.params.get in the following way
Code:
import logging
import azure.functions as func
from urllib.parse import urlparse
def main(req: func.HttpRequest) -> func.HttpResponse:
logging.info('Python HTTP trigger function processed a request.')
#using urllib
query_param= urlparse(req.url).query.split('=')[1]
print("Query Parameter using Urllib:",query_param)
name = req.params.get('name')
print("Query Parameter using req.params.get:", name)
if not name:
try:
req_body = req.get_json()
except ValueError:
pass
else:
name = req_body.get('name')
if name:
return func.HttpResponse(f"Hello, {name}. This HTTP triggered function executed successfully.")
else:
return func.HttpResponse(
"This HTTP triggered function executed successfully. Pass a name in the query string or in the request body for a personalized response.",
status_code=200
)
Output:
