Flask Restful Parse POST data

I am sending a POST request with cURL to Flask Restful API as:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: text/csv' -d @trace.csv http://localhost:5000/upload

I am not able to read this data from this request or I don't know how to read the data. Below is my implementation of the API:

class ForBetaAndUpload(Resource):
    def post(self, kind='quotes'):    
        parser = reqparse.RequestParser()
        parser.add_argument('file')
        args = parser.parse_args()['file']
        print(args) #Prints: Null

api.add_resource(ForBetaAndUpload, '/upload', endpoint='upload')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

How can I read the csv file data that I'm sending with cURL. I'll very much appreciate your help.

by default parser.add_argument will use GET params (location='args'). To get POST data, you need to specify location='form' in its arguments:

parser.add_argument('file', location='form')
