How can I access request object from REST API?

Dash Python

Ok, I see the problem now. I wasn’t importing the global request object. From Quickstart — Flask Documentation (3.0.x)

First of all you have to import it from the flask module:

from flask import request

That means the request works if I change my above example to

from dash import Dash
from flask import request # <<< This was missing entirely

app = Dash("demo")
server = app.server

@server.put('/api/contents/<dest_dir>/<dest_file>')
def upload_audio(dest_dir, dest_file):
    print(f"upload_audio with {(dest_dir, dest_file)}")
    request_json = request.json
    ...
