I am trying to make a restful API using flask. I am taking data from mysql. I notice I run flask_app.py, the changes will not take place. I need to reload the web app, in web tab. In this case, when I deploy it, where the database changes with schedule tasks, I need to reload it every time?
Forums
need to reload everytime make changes in flask?
Also, every time I update mysql, I need to reload the web app also.
A very simple Flask Hello World app for you to get started with...
from flask import Flask,jsonify,abort,make_response
import MySQLdb
import MySQLdb.cursors
app = Flask(__name__)
db = MySQLdb.connect(host='vinus.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com',user='vinus',passwd='pw',db='vinuspp$default',cursorclass=MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return 'Hello from vee!'
@app.route('/KLSE', methods=['GET'])
def KLSE():
curs = db.cursor()
try:
curs.execute("SELECT * FROM KLSE")
a = curs.fetchall()
except Exception:
return 'Error: unable to fetch items'
#return "hihi"
return jsonify({'Stock': a})
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
read that pythonanywhwre need to add if __name__ == '__main__':but unable to run.

You can't run servers in a console - they are not connected to the outside world. We have web apps for running web apps.

Hi Glenn, How should I run it after I completed the part in flask_app.py? Also, I have error with
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
Try setting up a flask webapp from the webapp tab. Basically we will automatically create a wsgi.py file which points to your flask_app.py and import your app variable. You can try creating a new webapp and then changing where the wsgi.py is pointing to.
the wsgi.py is like this, what I need to modify?
import sys
# add your project directory to the sys.path
project_home = u'/home/vinus/mysite'
if project_home not in sys.path:
sys.path = [project_home] + sys.path
# import flask app but need to call it "application" for WSGI to work
from flask_app import app as application
Do I really need the app.run() for PA?
no you don't need app.run()
you need to modify the project_home so that it points to wherever your project is (from which you canimport app from flask_app)
Check out this help page on setting us Flask -- it has a section on app.run which should make things clear (and if it doesn't clarify things, please do let us know!)
