Passing multiple parameters in url using cherrypy

I would like to send GET request with url like this "/api/stats?ad_ids=1,2,3&start_time=2013-09-01&end_time=2013-10-01" but I do not know how to mount my class to this url. I am using cherrypy mount method and MethodDispatcher. So far I managed to call GET method from this url api/stats/1.

Also what parameters should I pass to the GET method?

I would very appreciate any suggestion or comment?

Here are the code samples:

cherrypy.tree.mount(
    Ads(), '/api/stats',
    {'/':
        {'request.dispatch': cherrypy.dispatch.MethodDispatcher()}
    }
)


def GET(self,ad_id=None,*args, **kwargs):



    jsonData1={}


    jsonData = self.readData()

    counter2 = 0
    for item in jsonData:

        index = jsonData[item][2]


        if index==ad_id:

            jsonData1[counter2] = jsonData[item]
            counter2 += 1



    print jsonData1
    return ('Here is the stat %s')%(jsonData1)

Thank you in advance!

BR,

Momir

The query string can be reached with keyword arguments for the GET method.

Using your method you can access them with the dictionary kwargs.

cherrypy.tree.mount(
    Songs(), '/api/stats',
    {'/':
        {'request.dispatch': cherrypy.dispatch.MethodDispatcher()}
    }
)

def GET(self,ad_id=None,*args, **kwargs):
    start_time = kwargs.get('start_time', None)
    end_time = kwargs.get('end_time', None)
    # you can also use kwargs['XXX']
    # or do lookups with 'XXX' in kwargs
    # or set (start_time=None, end_time=None) at the signature
    # as a keyword argument.
    jsonData1={}
    jsonData = self.readData()
    counter2 = 0
    for item in jsonData:
        index = jsonData[item][2]
        if index==ad_id:
            jsonData1[counter2] = jsonData[item]
            counter2 += 1
    print jsonData1
    return ('Here is the stat %s')%(jsonData1)

Also, *args will contain any positional argument for any additional segment of the URL for example /api/stats/1/a/b/c will create args=('a', 'b', 'c')
