app = Flask(__name_))
api = Api(app)
class MyClass(Resource):
def post(self):
# Here i call a function from a separate file, which returns me a big python dict
result = my_func()
return jsonify(result), 200
This returns me the following error:
TypeError: Object of type Response is not JSON serializable
I tried adding:
test = jsonify(result), 200
And there is not error, so this means the endpoint return throws me an error? I do not understand, does Flask-RESTful call jsonify by default or something?
You do not have to use jsonify()
function, as the framework's core functionality includes automatic JSON serialization for resource methods. This means that when you return a Python object from a POST function, Flask-RESTful will automatically convert it into a JSON-formatted string.
