how to parse query string parameters in python?

Question

I am working on a REST API and using python. say for a get request ( sample below), I am assuming , anyone who makes a call will URL encode the URL, what is the correct way to decode and read query parameters in python?

'https://someurl.com/query_string_params?id=1&type=abc'

import requests
import urllib

  def get():
        
    //parse query string parameters here

Here's an example of how to split a URL and get the query parameters:

import urllib.parse

url='https://someurl.com/query_string_params?id=1&type=abc'

url_parts = urllib.parse.urlparse(url)

print( f"{url_parts=}" )

query_parts = urllib.parse.parse_qs(url_parts.query)

print( f"{query_parts=}" )

Result:

url_parts=ParseResult(scheme='https', netloc='someurl.com', path='/query_string_params', params='', query='id=1&type=abc', fragment='')
query_parts={'id': ['1'], 'type': ['abc']}
