How to get data form `request.form` in Flask?

Question

I am trying to get data from the request, I tried below-mentioned methods, I got None or {}. Here is what I tried,

request.form['text']
request.form.get('text')
request.form.to_dict()
request.form.getlist('text[]')
request.form.getlist('text')

I am sending json data using apid clies (Advanced Rest Client). Here is the data sample,

 [{
    "from": "971559xxxxxx",
    "id": "ABEGkZiAOQVVxxxxxxxxxxxxqEZ7KVtbxxxxx",
    "profile": {
        "name": "John Doe"
    },
    "text": {
        "body": "hi"
    },
    "timestamp": "1562080688",
    "type": "text",
    "to_number": "+971xxxxxxx"
    }]

Please explain how you are sending this data, and show the rest of your function. — Daniel Roseman, Oct 21 '19 at 08:34
Provide more of your code. What do you mean by sample data? Is it a `JSON` response? — Kostas Charitidis, Oct 21 '19 at 08:34
@Reznik, I know its duplicate question, and I tried almost all the methods, but still facing the issue. — KbiR, Oct 21 '19 at 08:39
