How to fetch data from a Jotform webhook with Python v3.6+ and Flask

app.py

import json
from flask import Flask, request


app = Flask(__name__)


def extract_jotform_data():
    output = {}
    form_data = request.form.to_dict()
    if form_data.get("rawRequest"):
        for key, value in json.loads(form_data["rawRequest"]).items():
            # Removes the "q<number>_" part from the key name
            # Instead of "q5_quantity" we want "quantity" as the key
            temp = key.split("_")
            new_key = key if len(temp) == 1 else "_".join(temp[1:])
            # Saves the item with the new key in the dictionary
            output[new_key] = value

    return output


@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def hello_world():
    jotform = extract_jotform_data()
    for key, value in jotform.items():
        print(f"{key}: {value}")
        if type(value) is dict:
            for subkey, subvalue in value.items():
                print(f" +------ {subkey}: {subvalue}")

    return "ok", 200


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

works great and a huge help for me.

I wanted to put into AWS via apigateway/lambda.

changed the file slightly:
import awsgi
from flask_cors import CORS
from flask import Flask,request

`replaced if name_ =='main'... ,
with a handler + awsgi

def handler(event, context):
return awsgi.response(app, event, context)
`
deployed and worked first time.

I'm glad to read that you find this snippet useful :-)

Brilliant - perfect solution here too. Many thanks.
