Python - Slack outgoing webhook to Telegram

I'm working on a webhook that sends Telegrams messages to Slack and Slack messages to Telegram; right now I can send Telegram messages to Slack but I can't send from Slack to Telegram because I don't know how to get the data. As the Slack documentation states, the data sent on the POST request is like this:

token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
team_id=T0001
team_domain=example
channel_id=C2147483705
channel_name=test
timestamp=1355517523.000005
user_id=U2147483697
user_name=Steve
text=googlebot: What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
trigger_word=googlebot:

The content type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded

From that data I want to get the user_name and text

On my Flask code I don't have nothing because I don't know how to receive that data or how can I see it on the console so I could try to extract it and send it to Telegram, this is the only thing that I have for the Slack webhook just because I wanted to see if it was working, I think that these lines of code are not relevant right now:

@app.route("/" + SLACK, methods=['POST'])
def slack_handler():
    if request.method == "POST":
        return "POST"

And that's my problem; how can I receive, store that data? if I should explain more my issue please let me know and thanks for any help.

As long as your slack webhook is configured appropriately you should be able to treat it like a form. The following should work-

from flask import Flask, request

slack_webhook = your_webhook_here
@app.route('/slack', methods=['POST'])
def slack():
    if request.form.get('token') == slack_webhook:
         channel = request.form.get('channel')
         username = request.form.get('username')
         return "Channel: " + channel + "Username: " + username
    else:
       return "None found"
