I am getting TypeError: get_entity_id() takes 2 positional arguments but 4 were given

i am getting user input from a ajax form,

getFormData = (request.form)
reportName = (getFormData['reportName'])
districtName = (getFormData['districtName'])
rapid7Query = (getFormData['rapid7Query'])
rapid7SeverityLevel = (getFormData['rapid7SeverityLevel'])

Id like to be able to pass these to another python function

print("In post request response...")

response = insightvmreport.check_action(reportName, districtName, rapid7Query, rapid7SeverityLevel)

when i do this, im getting an error,

TypeError: get_entity_id() takes 2 positional arguments but 4 were given

I have the other function, accept the arguments... (in insightvmreport.py file, this is the check_action() function:

def check_action(reportName, districtName, rapid7Query, rapid7SeverityLevel):

    print(reportName, districtName, rapid7Query, rapid7SeverityLevel)
    action = "download"
    if action == "download":

        scan_id,site_id = get_entity_id(reportName, districtName, rapid7Query, rapid7SeverityLevel)

        if scan_id and site_id:

            response = configure_report(scan_id,site_id)

            return response

error:

The function get_entity_id only takes two arguments. It has no idea what to do with more than two.

From your code it looks like you're trying to extract two entity ids, so you might need to split those two calls into two lines.

scan_id = get_entity_id(reportName, rapid7Query)
site_id = get_entity_id(districtName, rapid7SeverityLevel)

In order to use it twice (which I am assuming is your goal) you'll have to call it twice.
