I am creating a Python script that uses flask to give me a list of books as json.
- http://127.0.0.1:3000 - Should be index
- http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v1/resources/books/all - gives all books as json
- http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v1/resources/books?id=1 - gives book with id=1
My problem is that when I go to the URLs I get the following:
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
And Python states the following:
C:\Users\s\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe C:/Users/s/PycharmProjects/TodayPython/Main.py

The routes weren't found because the Flask app ran before the routes were defined.
I've gone ahead and did the changes and it is now working.

The problem is you declare command app.run(host="localhost", port=3000, debug=True) before def init() and other route. So you should push it to the last line
