Flask-RESTful - Return custom Response format

Question

I have defined a custom Response format as per the Flask-RESTful documentation as follow.

app = Flask(__name__)
api = restful.Api(app)

@api.representation(\'app

In addition to @Martijin Pieters' answer here - https://stackoverflow.com/a/20246014/1869562. Where you return a raw response object, Flask-Restful also allows you to set status code and headers in your return values directly.

So in your case, this should also work

class Foo(restful.Resource):

    def get(self):
        return something, 201, {'content-type': 'application/octet-stream'}

The default mediatype for Flask-REstful is 'application/json', so put should work as is.
