How can i have connection to 0.0.0.0 port 5000?-CodePudding

I'm Creating an endpoint that retrieves the number of each objects by type. when i execute the code with:

curl -X GET http://0.0.0.0:5000/api/v1/stats

it says:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to 0.0.0.0 port 5000: Connection refused

i've been trying to see if I have a config file, checked my listed ports, Google on how to change/activate the port, & still haven't found something.

This is my full code:

''' module that makes this an app '''

from flask import Flask, abort, jsonify
from models import storage
from api.v1.views import app_views
from os import getenv
app = Flask(__name__)


app.register_blueprint(app_views)


@app.teardown_appcontext
def close(self):
    ''' method that close the yes '''
    storage.close()


@app.errorhandler(404)
def invalid_route(e):
    return jsonify({"error": "Not found"}), 404


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host=getenv("HBNB_API_HOST", "0.0.0.0"),
            port=int(getenv("HBNB_API_PORT", "5000")), threaded=True)```

Your code is completely right, you are not sending the request to the right host.

Your flask server is binded to 0.0.0.0, which means that your server will be bounded to the default address (either localhost or your actual ip address)

This should be fine: curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/api/v1/stats

I used an executable command like this:

HBNB_MYSQL_USER=hbnb_dev HBNB_MYSQL_PWD=hbnb_dev_pwd HBNB_MYSQL_HOST=localhost HBNB_MYSQL_DB=hbnb_dev_db HBNB_TYPE_STORAGE=db HBNB_API_HOST=0.0.0.0 HBNB_API_PORT=5000 sudo python3 -m api.v1.app

but I forgot to add sudo before python3. Then you should open a new terminal and execute the curl command. THANKS
