I am posting some raw JSON to my backend
{
"access_token": "hU5C7so4reJOYTzPyhKPs8PWq07tb",
"id": 3,
"order_details": [{"meal_id": 1, "quantity": 3}, {"meal_id": 2, "quantity": 2}]
}
However when I try to
print (request.POST.get("access_token"))
I receive None
But, when I do
print (request.body)
The values seem to there:
b'{\n\t"access_token": "hU5C7so4reJOYTzPyhKPs8PWq07tb",\n\t"id": 3,\n\t",\n\t"order_details": [{"meal_id": 1, "quantity": 3}, {"meal_id": 2, "quantity": 2}]\n}'
I am using Postman to post the data.
I want to store the access token into some variable like so:
access_token = request.POST.get("access_token")
with the post data
I am still fairly new to Django, any help would be great.

The result of request. method == "POST" is a boolean value - True if the current request from a user was performed using the HTTP "POST" method, of False otherwise (usually that means HTTP "GET", but there are also other methods).
Django pass POST data to view The input fields defined inside the form pass the data to the redirected URL. You can define this URL in the urls.py file. In this URLs file, you can define the function created inside the view and access the POST data as explained in the above method. You just have to use the HTTPRequest.
When a page is requested, Django creates an HttpRequest object that contains metadata about the request. Then Django loads the appropriate view, passing the HttpRequest as the first argument to the view function. Each view is responsible for returning an HttpResponse object.
Request.POST gets populated when you are sending form data. see django doc, and this answer for details. Since, in your case, you are posting 'plain' json, you will find your payload under request.body. You can decode the body from binary to a dict as follows:
import json
body = json.loads(request.body.decode('utf-8'))
access_token = body.get("access_token")
Just doing a json.loads should work.
import json
json_data = json.loads(request.body)
