Change Required Parameters based upon HTTP Action about flask-restful HOT 3 CLOSED

Documentation says @marshal_with(resource_fields) is equivalent to return marshal(db_get_todo(), resource_fields), 200 directly in method serving the response.

I think solution to your problem would be simply to give different resource_fields to your get method than to your post method, or directly adjusting the dict according to current request.

Marshal with is regarding the objects returned, not the objects send to an endpoint.

For instance, at my users.json endpoint, for GET, I have:

api_key (Required)
use_cache
user_id (Required)

For my POST, I need:

api_key (Required)
user_name (Required)
first_name (Required)
etc.

So the fields sent to the endpoint differ entirely based upon the type of call. Just want an easy way to define that.

I guess I should be grateful when I can answer my own questions......just made a new parser for each endpoint type and included it in the later parsing:

    #Initialize the global parser
    self.parser = reqparse.RequestParser(API_Parameter)

    #Initialize other parsers
    self.parsers = {}
    self.parsers['GET'] = reqparse.RequestParser(API_Parameter)
    self.parsers['POST'] = reqparse.RequestParser(API_Parameter)
    self.parsers['PUT'] = reqparse.RequestParser(API_Parameter)
    self.parsers['DELETE'] = reqparse.RequestParser(API_Parameter)

Then:

    self.query_args = self.parser.parse_args()
    self.query_args.update(self.parsers['GET'].parse_args())
