Is there a way to check if a request is AJAX in Python?
The equivalent of PHP's $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] == 'xmlhttprequest'?

In Laravel, we can use $request->ajax() method to check request is ajax or not.
AJAX allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging data with a web server behind the scenes. This means that it is possible to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page.
Another way of using Ajax in Django is to use the Django Ajax framework. The most commonly used is django-dajax which is a powerful tool to easily and super-quickly develop asynchronous presentation logic in web applications, using Python and almost no JavaScript source code.
If the AJAX framework sets the X-Requested-With header in its requests, then you will be able to use that header to detect AJAX calls. It's up to the client-side framework to do this.
Getting hold of the HTTP headers depends on your Python framework of choice. In Django, the request object has an is_ajax method you can use directly.
