Python how to pass form input value to payload-CodePudding

I need to submit a form to an API and I want to pass the form fields value to the Payload for a python request API,enter code here how can I achieve this?

models.py

class Book(models.Model):
trading_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True)
industry = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True)
vat = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True)
address_street = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True)
address_city = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True)
address_postal_code = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True)
address_iso_country = CountryField(max_length=100, null=True)


def __str__(self):
    return self.title

forms.py

class BookForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
    model = Book
    fields = ('trading_name', 'industry', 'vat', 'address_street',
              'address_city', 'address_postal_code', 'address_iso_country')

views.py

def upload_kyb(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
    url = 'https://stoplight.io/mocks/railsbank/api/25652867/v1/customer/endusers'
    headers = {
              'Content-Type': "application/json",
              'Accept': "application/json",
              'Authorization': ""
        }
    payload = "{ \n \"company\": {\n    \"name\": \"Example Company\", \n    \"trading_name\": \"jiuliasu\",\n    \"industry\": \"Telecommunications\",\n    \"vat\": \"GB123456789\",\n    \"registration_address\": \n      {\n         \"address_refinement\": \"Floor 15\", \n         \"address_number\": \"20\", \n         \"address_street\": \"Floor 15\", \n         \"address_city\": \"London\", \n         \"address_postal_code\": \"SS8 9JH\", \n         \"address_iso_country\": \"GBR\" \n      }\n\t}\n}"
    response = requests.request("POST", url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
    print(response.text)
    print(payload)
    # form = Kybform(request.POST, request.FILES)
    form = BookForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
    if form.is_valid():
        form.save()
        return redirect('kyb_list')
else:
    
    form = BookForm()
return render(request, 'kybstart/upload_kyb.html', {
    'form': form
})

I can get the response in the console but how can I actually pass the form inputs dynamically into the Payload?

CodePudding user response：

Assign variables to the items in your post then use the variables in your payload

You can break up the string with quotes and concatenate the variables.

Example Payload = "Trading name: " name_variable " industry"

CodePudding user response：

sorted using f-string for the payload:

payload = f'{{  "company": {nl}, "name": {trading_name}, {nl}"industry": {industry}, {nl}"vat": {vat}, {nl}, "registration_address": {nl}, "address_number": {address_street}, {nl}"address_street": {address_city}}}'

and assign variable as per the answer above

trading_name = request.POST.get('trading_name')
    nl = '\n'
    industry = request.POST.get('industry')
    vat = request.POST.get('vat')
    address_street = request.POST.get('address_street')
    address_city = request.POST.get('address_city')
