received a request from vs received a request by

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Received a request from' is the more common construction in English. It is used to indicate the source of the request. On the other hand, 'received a request by' is less common and might sound awkward. It could be used in a sentence like "I received a request by email."
