There are many ways to accomplish what you're looking for, but I'll give you a couple basic examples here. The first way is to embed the inputted data as url parameters. You can use a GET request to do this. The other is to use a POST request where the request payload contains the input data.
Using a GET
The first step for this type of request is to set up the endpoint to pull the parameter value out of the url
from flask import request
@app.route('/get_example')
def get_example():
input_data = request.args.get('input')
input2_data = request.args.get('input2')
# Then you process your data however you need to
return {'input_1': input_data, 'input_2': input2_data}
Then you would hit this endpoint with your data directly embedded in the url:
https://your_api.com/get_example?input_data=some_stuff&input_data2=some_other_stuff
This would return {"input_1":"some_stuff", "input_2":"some_other_stuff}
Using a POST
For more complex data, it might be better to use a POST request
from flask import request
# it's important to include POST as one of the permitted methods
@app.route('/post_example', methods = ['GET','POST'])
def post_example():
# This returns a dictionary of the POST request payload
post_data = request.get_json(force = True)
post1_data = post_data['first_input']
post2_data = post_data['second_input']
return {'input_1': post1_data, 'input_2': post2_data}
Then you can hit your endpoint using curl:
curl -d "first_input=some_stuff&second_input=some_other_stuff" -X POST https://your_api.com/post_example
And it would return {"input_1":"some_stuff", "input_2":"some_other_stuff}

To create an API in Python with Flask, we have to indicate: the endpoint, the method and the function that should be executed on that endpoint. Let's see an example with an API that simply returns the text “Hello world!”. from flask import Flask, jsonify, request,send_file app = Flask() @app.

Used by NASA, ILM, Disney and hardware hackers, Python is a versatile programming language and an ideal choice for beginners. Whether you’re just creating a “Hello World” or a full-blown application, Python needs an interpreter and a bunch of supporting libraries to work. What if we could make a GUI application, all bundled inside of a single executable file?
