Flask: Echo GET - using curl and requests

We can test the application externally as well.

For this we first have to make sure the application runs. Then we can use either curl the command line too or the requests library of Python.

curl

curl http://localhost:5000/
curl http://localhost:5000/echo?text=Sanch+Panza

Python requests

pip install requests

import requests

res = requests.get('http://localhost:5000/')
print(res.status_code)
print(res.text)

res = requests.get('http://localhost:5000/echo?text=Hello World!')
print(res.status_code)
print(res.text)
