How to extract data from json POST request in Django?

Question

Django

I'm trying to confirm the server for the VK application, VK sends a request { "type": "confirmation", "group_id": 156694511 } view
:

def handshake(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        data = dict(request.POST)
        if data['type'] == 'confirmation':
            return HttpResponse('token')
    return HttpResponse('Not POST')

As a result, I get a keyerror, because request.POST turns out {}, tell me how to still extract data from the request

Answer 1

How do you send a request? If the request is via Axios then the data will be inrequest.body
