Flask-JSONRPC 3.0.1

Adds JSONRPC support to Flask.

Flask JSON-RPC

Basic JSON-RPC implementation for your Flask-powered sites.

Some reasons you might want to use:

• Simple, powerful, flexible, and pythonic API.
• Support JSON-RPC 2.0 version.
• Support Python 3.8 or later.
• Experimental support to Mypyc, it compiles Python modules to C extensions.
• The web browsable API.
• Run-time type checking functions defined with PEP 484 argument (and return) type annotations.
• Extensive documentation, and great community support.

There is a live example API for testing purposes, available here.

Below: Screenshot from the browsable API

Adding Flask JSON-RPC to your application

1. Installation

$ pip install Flask-JSONRPC

or

$ git clone git://github.com/cenobites/flask-jsonrpc.git
$ cd flask-jsonrpc
$ python setup.py install

2. Getting Started

Create your application and initialize the Flask-JSONRPC.

from flask import Flask
from flask_jsonrpc import JSONRPC

app = Flask("application")
jsonrpc = JSONRPC(app, "/api", enable_web_browsable_api=True)

Write JSON-RPC methods.

@jsonrpc.method("App.index")
def index() -> str:
    return "Welcome to Flask JSON-RPC"

All code of example run.py.

3. Running

$ python run.py
