Map HTTP Methods to Class Handlers

Implement get, post, put, and delete.

Verbs Become Methods

In Flask-RESTful each HTTP verb maps to a same-named method on your Resource. GET calls get, POST calls post.

Define a get method to read data. Returning a dict sends it back as JSON automatically.

class Task(Resource):
    def get(self, task_id):
        return {"id": task_id}
