Re-explain
These access different types of request data:
request.form: POST form data (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data)
request.args: URL query string parameters
request.get_json(): JSON data from request body (application/json)
# URL: /api?page=1
# Body: {"name": "John"}
# Form data: username=admin
@app.route('/api', methods=['POST'])
def api():
page = request.args.get('page') # "1"
name = request.get_json()['name'] # "John"
username = request.form.get('username') # "admin"
