req.params is not a function

Question

my api url:

{{url}}/api/v1/users/updateHome?access_token={{access_token}}

I am trying to access the property access_token. I have tried the following ways to access it but it returns error:

1. req.params('access_token'); //returns req.params is not a function
2. req.params.access_token; //returns undefined

Since req.param('access_token') which works but now deprecated, how can I access the property access_token ?

Answer 1

Query parameter should be accessed from req.query. For instance

req.query["access_token"]

Answer 2

It doesn't work because what you have is a query parameter.

To access it use req.query.
