I’m currently running Bokeh 0.12.1 with Django 1.9.8.
I’m running an app with
bokeh serve emptydetails\_graph.py
``
Let’s say the emptydetails\_graph.py running on the bokeh server is this:
```auto
from bokeh.plotting import figure, show, output_server
p = figure(title="Server Plot")
p.circle([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
output_server("hover")
show(p)
```
I would like to pass an argument from Django to start a new session similar to this:
```auto
from bokeh.plotting import figure, show, output_server
p = figure(title= **STRING PARAMETER FROM DJANGO** )
p.circle([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
output_server("hover")
show(p)
```
Obviously my use case is different, the main goal being I would like to pass a string from Django to a Bokeh App, when creating a new session.
```auto
the_script = autoload_server(model=None,app_path='/emptydetails_graph',url="http://127.0.0.1:5006/", **STRING PARAMETER HERE** )
```
How would I do this?
```auto
```

I read throught the docs and found this [http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user\_guide/server.html#accessing-the-http-request](http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/server.html#accessing-the-http-request) whcih would tell me that my bokeh app should include:
```auto
**imports**
```
```auto
```
```auto
args = curdoc().session_context.request.arguments
```
```auto
p = figure(title=**string(args.get('Name')[0]**)
p.circle([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
output_server("hover")
show(p)
yet I am still confused on how to set the arguments with autoload_server
```
the\_script = autoload\_server(model=None,app\_path=‘/emptydetails\_graph’,url=“[http://127.0.0.1:5006/](http://127.0.0.1:5006/)”)

Richard,
That section only applies to bokeh apps run directly on the bokeh server, i.e., run as:
bokeh serve myapp.py
Then in your autoload call, you could add custom HTML request arguments to the app\_path, and when the session is created for that autoload call.
Please not output\_server is very limited inherently, and I just opened an issue to discuss deprecating/removing it. A newar identical question was on this list earlier today, please see my longer response there:

Thanks,
Bryan

Oh sorry about that. this app is currently running on
bokeh serve myapp.py
``
I just picked a random sample app to illustrate the problem of pushing the argument to bokeh. my app doesn’t use output\_server().
would this be the right?
the\_script = autoload\_server(model=None,app\_path=’/myapp\*\*?name=“company\_name”\*\*’,url=“[http://127.0.0.1:5006/](http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A5006%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHMjWk45cHNYQ-2-qbfsm6VukrK9g)”)
and then access it with:
```auto
args = curdoc().session_context.request.arguments
```
```auto
name = **string(args.get('name')[0]**)
``
Thanks for the help!
