How to read parameters from GET request in CherryPy?

Question

How to read parameters from GET request in CherryPy ? I generate request from JQuery like

$.get(
    "http://localhost:8080/temp",
    "{a:10}",
    function(data) { alert(data); },
    "html"
);

and I have class temp with @cherrypy.expose function index(self). How to extract data from GET request ?

Answer 2

As virhilo mentioned, you can take named parameters in with your method.

Also, you can read cherrypy.request.params.

Answer 3

With both POST and GET (and PUT, PATCH, etc...) you can use:

cherrypy.request.params.get(key_name)

Where key_name is the key name you want to get.
