I am trying to run a DAG from REST API and pass some parameters to it. The DAG should be able to catch the parameters and use it. The problem is I am able to trigger the DAG from REST API,but the DAG is not able to catch the parameters passed. Is there a way to achieve this?



I am triggering the DAG from REST API as below.It passes the parameters in --conf



http://abcairflow.com:8090/admin/rest_api/api?api=trigger_dag&dag_id=trigger_test_dag&conf=%7B%22key%22%3A%2


How to capture the values passed in conf value in the called DAG. As far as I know the conf should take the URL encoded JSON format data.



DAG code:`



def run_this_func(**kwargs):
print(kwargs)

run_this = PythonOperator(
task_id='run_this',
python_callable=run_this_func,
dag=dag
)`

          I did not know that you could trigger a DAG with HTTP GET, but I've successfully triggered with conf using POST and following the documentation https://airflow.apache.org/api.html



          For example triggering the dag "trigger_test_dag":



          curl -X POST --data '"conf":"{"key":"value"}"' 
          "http://abcairflow.com:8090/api/experimental/dags/trigger_test_dag/dag_runs"


          Pay attention to the escaping of apostrophes as conf needs to be a string. I guess you can do a base 64 encode, and then decode in the DAG, to the string if you prefer that.

            Unfortunately, this is not a well-documented feature, but there are examples of a DAG triggering another DAG with the conf set and the target DAG using it. See example_trigger_controller_dag and example_trigger_target_dag. DAGs triggered by an operator, REST API, or CLI should all pass the conf parameter in the same way.



            conf is accessible inside the context, so you'll need to make sure you pass provide_context=True when using a PythonOperator.



            def run_this_func(**kwargs):
            print(kwargs['conf'])

            run_this = PythonOperator(
            task_id='run_this',
            python_callable=run_this_func,
            dag=dag,
            provide_context=True,
