I have an existing mysql database, and I'm trying to create an API to access it, but I'm receiving a 404 error. I have two versions of code that don't work.
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
URL I'm using: http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/email
v1:
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.restless import APIManager
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'mysql+pymysql://pathtodb/emails'
db = SQLAlchemy(app)
class Email(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'emails'
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
status = db.Column(db.String(20))
email = db.Column(db.String())
def __init__(self, status, email):
self.status = status
self.email = email
api_manager = APIManager(app, flask_sqlalchemy_db=db)
api_manager.create_api(Email, methods=['GET', 'POST', 'DELETE', 'PUT'])
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
v2:
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.restless import APIManager
from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
app = Flask(__name__)
Base = declarative_base()
engine = create_engine('mysql+pymysql://pathtodb/emails', echo=True)
metadata = MetaData(bind=engine)
class Email(Base):
__tablename__ = Table('emails', metadata, autoload=True)
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
status = Column(String(20))
email = Column(String())
api_manager = APIManager(app, flask_sqlalchemy_db=engine)
api_manager.create_api(Email, methods=['GET', 'POST', 'DELETE', 'PUT'])
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
URL I'm using: http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/email
With flask-restless the links are generated automatically when the method api_manager.create_api() is called, with this format :
'http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/{tablename}' # default domain and port
where {tablename} is the __tablename__ given to the model class, not the class name called in the method.
The doc mentioned an example here.
