Answer 1

If you want to iterate over all the parameters of your request, you should do something like this:

for argument in self.request.arguments():
    values = self.request.get_all(argument)
    # do something with values (which is a list)

Or, you could build your own dict containing all the data:

params = {arg: self.request.get_all(arg) for arg in self.request.arguments()}

Answer 2

You don't need to complicate. You can retrieve all GET parameters with:

self.request.get('var_name')

Or if you want to retrieve them all in one list you can use:

self.request.get_all()
