python 2.7 - Question marks in Flask Urls for routing -

this question has answer here:

• how data received in flask request 8 answers

so have route in flask follows:

@app.route("/menu-card/<google_place_id>", methods=['get'])  

on navigating http://127.0.0.1:5000/menu-card/chijaxxhiumurjsr5qoqvsqjcci, proper response.

however tried changing url pattern follows:

@app.route("/menu-card?id=<google_place_id>", methods=['get']) 

on navigating http://127.0.0.1:5000/menu-card?id=chijaxxhiumurjsr5qoqvsqjcci, 404 error.what doing wrong ?

the part after ? query string, can using request.args. route should

@app.route("/menu-card", methods=['get']) 

and can id using:

google_place_id = request.args.get('id', none) 

where none default value if id not included in url. you'll have check if it's not equal none make sure has been passed.

search the quickstart page request.args see example.
