If you want to access the query parameter userid in Flask, you can use request.args.get('userid') or request.args['userid'].

Example code:

@app.route("/removesessions/", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def removesessions():
    userid = request.args.get('userid') # or userid = request.args['userid']
    print(userid)

More information can be found in Flask docs: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/api/#flask.Request.args
