Return HTTP status code 201 in flask

Question

We\'re using Flask for one of our API\'s and I was just wondering if anyone knew how to return a HTTP response 201?

For errors such as 404 we can call:

Answer 1

In my case I had to combine the above in order to make it work

return Response(json.dumps({'Error': 'Error in payload'}), 
status=422, 
mimetype="application/json")

Answer 2

In your flask code, you should ideally specify the MIME type as often as possible, as well:

return html_page_str, 200, {'ContentType':'text/html'}

return json.dumps({'success':True}), 200, {'ContentType':'application/json'}

...etc

Answer 3

You can read about it here.

return render_template('page.html'), 201
