What it is
A 74-minute tutorial from Tech With Tim that builds a Python REST API with Flask and Flask-RESTful, starting from a Hello World endpoint and moving through request parsing, status codes and validation. It then adds a Flask-SQLAlchemy database with models, serialization, and create, update and delete handlers.

The easiest way would probably be to make a REST API using something like Flask and then send HTTP requests from React Native to your API. If you are new to Flask and REST APIs, I would suggest checking this video [this video] out. Flask Homepage [LINK]

I was following this tutorial [this video] and it was going pretty well. He then introduced reqparse and I followed along. I tried to test my code and I get this error {'message': "Did not attempt to load JSON data because the request Content-Type was not 'application/json'."} I don't know if I'm missing something super obvious but I'm pretty sure I copied his code exactly. here's the code: main.py from flask import Flask, request from flask_restful import Api, Resource, reqparse app = Flask(__name__) api = Api(app) #basic get and post names = {"sai": {"age": 19, "gender": "male"}, "bill": {"age": 23, "gender": "male"}} class HelloWorld(Resource): def get(self, name, numb): return names[name] def
