I just wrote an echo server that responds to a curl requests with the method used and the data sent. sticking to GET and POST for now but i would like to know if theres something i can do to improve my RESTFUL API

Im supposed to:

 1. Only be able to call the /data endpoint
 2. Only allow JSON parameters 
 3. Use best practices of coding a restful API

Expected JSON response:

{
 "method": <HTTP METHOD REQUESTED>,
 "data": <HTTP PARAMETERS SENT IN THE REQUEST>
}

Here is my current code:

from bottle import run, post, request, response, get, route, put, delete
from json import dumps
import json
@get('/data')
def data():
 #if headers are not specified we can check if body is a json the following way
 #postdata = request.body.read()
 postdata = request.json
 try:
 #rv = {"method": request.method, "data": json.loads(postdata.decode('utf-8'))}
 rv = {"method": request.method, "data": postdata}
 except:
 raise ValueError
 response.content_type = 'application/json'
 return dumps(rv)
@post('/data')
def data():
 #postdata = request.body.read()
 postdata = request.json
 try:
 #rv = {"method": request.method, "data": json.loads(postdata.decode('utf-8'))}
 rv = {"method": request.method, "data": postdata}
 except:
 raise ValueError
 response.content_type = 'application/json'
 return dumps(rv)

Everything seems to work fine for now, i'm looking to improve my code so any feedback is appreciated
