To install it you have to run:<\/p>\n
pip install flask-restful<\/code><\/p>\n#myapp.py\r\n\r\n#!flask\/bin\/python\r\nfrom flask import Flask, jsonify\r\nfrom flask import Response\r\nimport json\r\n\r\napp = Flask(__name__)\r\n\r\n@app.route(\"\/<username>\", methods=['GET'])\r\ndef put_username(username):\r\n if username == 'your_username':\r\n resp = Response(\"success!\\n\", mimetype='application\/json')\r\n else:\r\n resp = Response(\"\", status=404, mimetype='application\/json')\r\n\r\n return resp\r\n\r\nif __name__ == '__main__':\r\n app.run(debug=True)<\/pre>\n <\/p>\n
As you can see, this does the exact same thing as the endpoint created in Ruby.<\/p>\n
You simply run it with<\/p>\n
python myapp.py<\/code><\/p>\nMock endpoint in GO<\/h3>\n\/\/myapp.go\r\npackage main\r\n\r\nimport (\r\n\t\"fmt\"\r\n\t\"net\/http\"\r\n\t\"github.com\/julienschmidt\/httprouter\"\r\n)\r\n\r\nfunc username(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, p httprouter.Params) {\r\n\tif p.ByName(\"username\") == \"your_username\" {\r\n\t\tw.Header().Set(\"Content-Type\", \"application\/json\")\r\n\t\tw.WriteHeader(200)\r\n\t\tfmt.Fprint(w, `{\"message\":\"success\"}`)\r\n\t} else {\r\n\t\tw.WriteHeader(404)\r\n\t}\r\n}\r\n\r\nfunc main() {\r\n\tr := httprouter.New()\r\n\tr.GET(\"\/:username\", username)\r\n\thttp.ListenAndServe(\"localhost:5000\", r)\r\n}<\/pre>\nThis does the same thing as the previous two endpoints and you run it with:<\/p>\n
