Answer 1

If your python script is server side:

You can use os

    import os
    url = os.environ
    print(url)

with that, you will see all the data os.environ gives you. It looks like your need the 'QUERY_STRING'. Like any JSON object, you can obtain the data like this.

    import os
    url = os.environ['QUERY_STRING']
    print(url)

And if you want a really elegant scalable solution you can use anywhere and always, you can save the variables into a dictionary (named vars here) like so:

    vars={}
    splits=os.environ['QUERY_STRING'].split('&')
    for x in splits:
        name,value=x.split('=')
        vars[name]=value

    print(vars)

If you are client side, then any of the other responses involving the get request will work
