How can I get request data in Django from a redirect?

I need to get data from a redirect, but I can't really figure out how. The method is GET as I can see from my print. But I have tried everything I found on searching for this without luck. What am I doing wrong? I really appreciate any help.

I have this redirect:

return redirect('/list-view', new = 'new')

My urls looks like this:

path('list-view/<new>', views.list_view, name='list'),

Then my list-view is:

def list_view(request, *args, **kwargs):
  print(request.method)
  if request.method == 'GET':
      aa=request.GET.get('new')
      if aa:
          bb = (request.GET.get('new'))
          print (bb['new'])

If you define a parameter in the url, like you are doing, you can actually put it as a input on the view function,

def list_view(request, new):
  # ...

BTW to use the name you need to reverse it, something like this,

new = True
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('list', args=(new,)))

Use the name of the URL instead of the absolute path. return redirect('list', new = 'new')
