session - Check for a cookie with Python Flask

Question

I would like to get a cookie (e.g. country) with this Flask call.

data = request.cookies.get("country")

How can I tell if the cookie exists?

Answer 1

request.cookies is a dict, so:

from flask import request

if 'country' in request.cookies:
    # do something
else:
    # do something else
