Do you know Rest API? Certainly, yes. How about in Python? Follow this example to build two endpoints with Python and Flask.

First, we are going to install Flask:

pip3 install Flask

Now, create a file, for example, main.py:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

In the example above, we’re importing Flask and getting a reference to it. Now, add to the code:

@app.route('/info', methods = ['GET'])
def info():
    return 'This a simple endpoint to test and provides information about things.'

@app.route('/insert', methods = ['POST'])
def insert():
    return 'This a simple endpoint to test insert data.'

In the code above, @app is a decorator to create routes. The first argument is an URI. The second argument informs the HTTP Method. Finally, to execute:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

Running the code is:

python3 Main.py

and that’s all folks!
