Flask API Request Lifecycle in 5 Steps

🐍 Ever wondered what actually happens when a REST API request hits your Flask app? Here's the full lifecycle - broken down into 5 clean steps: 1️⃣ Client sends an HTTP request to your endpoint 2️⃣ Flask router matches the URL via @app.route() 3️⃣ View function reads params & calls the external API 4️⃣ Error handling catches bad input or failed responses 5️⃣ jsonify() serialises your data and sends it back This is literally the backbone of every Flask project I've built - my Weather App, To-Do API, and more. Simple loop. Infinite possibilities. 🚀 Drop a 🔥 if you're also building with Flask! #Python #Flask #RESTAPI #BackendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #PythonDeveloper #LearnToCode #Programming #APIDesign #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #TechStudent #BuildInPublic #FlaskFramework #JSONHandling
