API 文档

Api¶

class flask.ext.restful.Api(app=None, prefix='', default_mediatype='application/json', decorators=None, catch_all_404s=False, url_part_order='bae', errors=None)¶

The main entry point for the application. You need to initialize it with a Flask Application:

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

Alternatively, you can use init_app() to set the Flask application after it has been constructed.

Parameters:

app (flask.Flask) – the Flask application object prefix (str) – Prefix all routes with a value, eg v1 or 2010-04-01 default_mediatype (str) – The default media type to return decorators (list) – Decorators to attach to every resource catch_all_404s (bool) – Use handle_error() to handle 404 errors throughout your app url_part_order – A string that controls the order that the pieces of the url are concatenated when the full url is constructed. ‘b’ is the blueprint (or blueprint registration) prefix, ‘a’ is the api prefix, and ‘e’ is the path component the endpoint is added with errors () – A dictionary to define a custom response for each exception or error raised during a request

add_resource(resource, *urls, **kwargs)¶

Adds a resource to the api.

Parameters:	resource (Resource) – the class name of your resource urls (str) – one or more url routes to match for the resource, standard flask routing rules apply. Any url variables will be passed to the resource method as args. endpoint (str) – endpoint name (defaults to Resource.__name__.lower() Can be used to reference this route in fields.Url fields

Additional keyword arguments not specified above will be passed as-is to flask.Flask.add_url_rule().

Examples:

api.add_resource(HelloWorld, '/', '/hello')
api.add_resource(Foo, '/foo', endpoint="foo")
api.add_resource(FooSpecial, '/special/foo', endpoint="foo")

error_router(original_handler, e)¶

This function decides whether the error occured in a flask-restful endpoint or not. If it happened in a flask-restful endpoint, our handler will be dispatched. If it happened in an unrelated view, the app’s original error handler will be dispatched. In the event that the error occurred in a flask-restful endpoint but the local handler can’t resolve the situation, the router will fall back onto the original_handler as last resort.

Parameters:	original_handler (function) – the original Flask error handler for the app e (Exception) – the exception raised while handling the request

handle_error(e)¶

Error handler for the API transforms a raised exception into a Flask response, with the appropriate HTTP status code and body.

Parameters:	e (Exception) – the raised Exception object

init_app(app)¶

Initialize this class with the given flask.Flask application or flask.Blueprint object.

Parameters:	app (flask.Blueprint) – the Flask application or blueprint object

Examples:

api = Api()
api.add_resource(...)
api.init_app(app)

make_response(data, *args, **kwargs)¶

Looks up the representation transformer for the requested media type, invoking the transformer to create a response object. This defaults to (application/json) if no transformer is found for the requested mediatype.

Parameters:	data – Python object containing response data to be transformed

mediatypes()¶

Returns a list of requested mediatypes sent in the Accept header

mediatypes_method()¶

Return a method that returns a list of mediatypes

output(resource)¶

Wraps a resource (as a flask view function), for cases where the resource does not directly return a response object

Parameters:	resource – The resource as a flask view function

owns_endpoint(endpoint)¶

Tests if an endpoint name (not path) belongs to this Api. Takes in to account the Blueprint name part of the endpoint name.

Parameters:	endpoint – The name of the endpoint being checked
Returns:	bool

representation(mediatype)¶

Allows additional representation transformers to be declared for the api. Transformers are functions that must be decorated with this method, passing the mediatype the transformer represents. Three arguments are passed to the transformer:

• The data to be represented in the response body
• The http status code
• A dictionary of headers

The transformer should convert the data appropriately for the mediatype and return a Flask response object.

Ex:

@api.representation('application/xml')
def xml(data, code, headers):
    resp = make_response(convert_data_to_xml(data), code)
    resp.headers.extend(headers)
    return resp

resource(*urls, **kwargs)¶

Wraps a Resource class, adding it to the api. Parameters are the same as add_resource().

Example:

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

@api.resource('/foo')
class Foo(Resource):
    def get(self):
        return 'Hello, World!'

unauthorized(response)

Given a response, change it to ask for credentials

url_for(resource, **values)¶

Generates a URL to the given resource.

class flask.ext.restful.Resource¶

Represents an abstract RESTful resource. Concrete resources should extend from this class and expose methods for each supported HTTP method. If a resource is invoked with an unsupported HTTP method, the API will return a response with status 405 Method Not Allowed. Otherwise the appropriate method is called and passed all arguments from the url rule used when adding the resource to an Api instance. See add_resource() for details.

ReqParse¶

class reqparse.RequestParser(argument_class=<class 'reqparse.Argument'>, namespace_class=<class 'reqparse.Namespace'>)¶

Enables adding and parsing of multiple arguments in the context of a single request. Ex:

from flask import request

parser = RequestParser()
parser.add_argument('foo')
parser.add_argument('int_bar', type=int)
args = parser.parse_args()

add_argument(*args, **kwargs)¶

Adds an argument to be parsed.

Accepts either a single instance of Argument or arguments to be passed into Argument‘s constructor.

See Argument‘s constructor for documentation on the available options.

copy()¶

Creates a copy of this RequestParser with the same set of arguments

parse_args(req=None, strict=False)¶

Parse all arguments from the provided request and return the results as a Namespace

Parameters:	strict – if req includes args not in parser, throw 400 BadRequest exception

remove_argument(name)¶

Remove the argument matching the given name.

replace_argument(name, *args, **kwargs)¶

Replace the argument matching the given name with a new version.

class reqparse.Argument(name, default=None, dest=None, required=False, ignore=False, type=<function <lambda> at 0x1065c6c08>, location=('json', 'values'), choices=(), action='store', help=None, operators=('=', ), case_sensitive=True, store_missing=True)¶

Parameters:

name – Either a name or a list of option strings, e.g. foo or -f, –foo. default – The value produced if the argument is absent from the request. dest – The name of the attribute to be added to the object returned by parse_args(). required (bool) – Whether or not the argument may be omitted (optionals only). action – The basic type of action to be taken when this argument is encountered in the request. Valid options are “store” and “append”. ignore – Whether to ignore cases where the argument fails type conversion type – The type to which the request argument should be converted. If a type raises a ValidationError, the message in the error will be returned in the response. Defaults to unicode in python2 and str in python3. location – The attributes of the flask.Request object to source the arguments from (ex: headers, args, etc.), can be an iterator. The last item listed takes precedence in the result set. choices – A container of the allowable values for the argument. help – A brief description of the argument, returned in the response when the argument is invalid with the name of the argument and the message passed to a ValidationError raised by a type converter. case_sensitive (bool) – Whether the arguments in the request are case sensitive or not store_missing (bool) – Whether the arguments default value should be stored if the argument is missing from the request.

__init__(name, default=None, dest=None, required=False, ignore=False, type=<function <lambda> at 0x1065c6c08>, location=('json', 'values'), choices=(), action='store', help=None, operators=('=', ), case_sensitive=True, store_missing=True)¶

 

handle_validation_error(error)¶

Called when an error is raised while parsing. Aborts the request with a 400 status and an error message

Parameters:	error – the error that was raised

parse(request)¶

Parses argument value(s) from the request, converting according to the argument’s type.

Parameters:	request – The flask request object to parse arguments from

source(request)¶

Pulls values off the request in the provided location :param request: The flask request object to parse arguments from

Fields¶

class fields.String(default=None, attribute=None)¶

Marshal a value as a string. Uses six.text_type so values will be converted to unicode in python2 and str in python3.

format(value)¶

 

class fields.FormattedString(src_str)¶

FormattedString is used to interpolate other values from the response into this field. The syntax for the source string is the same as the string format method from the python stdlib.

Ex:

fields = {
    'name': fields.String,
    'greeting': fields.FormattedString("Hello {name}")
}
data = {
    'name': 'Doug',
}
marshal(data, fields)

Allows you to nest one set of fields inside another. See 高级：嵌套字段 for more information

Parameters:	nested (dict) – The dictionary to nest allow_null (bool) – Whether to return None instead of a dictionary with null keys, if a nested dictionary has all-null keys kwargs – if default keyword argument is present, a nested dictionary will be marshaled as its value if nested dictionary is all-null keys (e.g. lets you return an empty JSON object instead of null)

:keyword default

output(key, obj)¶

 

class fields.List(cls_or_instance, **kwargs)¶

Field for marshalling lists of other fields.

Parameters:	cls_or_instance – The field type the list will contain.

format(value)¶

 

output(key, data)¶

 

class fields.Raw(default=None, attribute=None)¶

Raw provides a base field class from which others should extend. It applies no formatting by default, and should only be used in cases where data does not need to be formatted before being serialized. Fields should throw a MarshallingException in case of parsing problem.

format(value)¶

Formats a field’s value. No-op by default - field classes that modify how the value of existing object keys should be presented should override this and apply the appropriate formatting.

Parameters:	value – The value to format
Raises MarshallingException:
	In case of formatting problem

Ex:

class TitleCase(Raw):
    def format(self, value):
        return unicode(value).title()

output(key, obj)¶

Pulls the value for the given key from the object, applies the field’s formatting and returns the result. If the key is not found in the object, returns the default value. Field classes that create values which do not require the existence of the key in the object should override this and return the desired value.

Raises MarshallingException:
	In case of formatting problem

class fields.Boolean(default=None, attribute=None)¶

Field for outputting a boolean value.

Empty collections such as "", {}, [], etc. will be converted to False.

Returns:	The URL if valid.
Raises:	ValueError

flask.ext.restful.inputs.regex¶

 

flask.ext.restful.inputs.date(value)¶

Parse a valid looking date in the format YYYY-mm-dd

flask.ext.restful.inputs.iso8601interval(value, argument='argument')¶

Parses ISO 8601-formatted datetime intervals into tuples of datetimes.

Accepts both a single date(time) or a full interval using either start/end or start/duration notation, with the following behavior:

• Intervals are defined as inclusive start, exclusive end
• Single datetimes are translated into the interval spanning the largest resolution not specified in the input value, up to the day.
• The smallest accepted resolution is 1 second.
• All timezones are accepted as values; returned datetimes are localized to UTC. Naive inputs and date inputs will are assumed UTC.

Examples:

"2013-01-01" -> datetime(2013, 1, 1), datetime(2013, 1, 2)
"2013-01-01T12" -> datetime(2013, 1, 1, 12), datetime(2013, 1, 1, 13)
"2013-01-01/2013-02-28" -> datetime(2013, 1, 1), datetime(2013, 2, 28)
"2013-01-01/P3D" -> datetime(2013, 1, 1), datetime(2013, 1, 4)
"2013-01-01T12:00/PT30M" -> datetime(2013, 1, 1, 12), datetime(2013, 1, 1, 12, 30)
"2013-01-01T06:00/2013-01-01T12:00" -> datetime(2013, 1, 1, 6), datetime(2013, 1, 1, 12)

Parameters:	value (str) – The ISO8601 date time as a string
Returns:	Two UTC datetimes, the start and the end of the specified interval
Return type:	A tuple (datetime, datetime)
Raises:	ValueError, if the interval is invalid.

flask.ext.restful.inputs.natural(value, argument='argument')¶

Restrict input type to the natural numbers (0, 1, 2, 3...)

flask.ext.restful.inputs.boolean(value)¶

Parse the string “true” or “false” as a boolean (case insensitive). Also accepts “1” and “0” as True/False (respectively). If the input is from the request JSON body, the type is already a native python boolean, and will be passed through without further parsing.

flask.ext.restful.inputs.rfc822(dt)¶

Turn a datetime object into a formatted date.

Example:

inputs.rfc822(datetime(2011, 1, 1)) => "Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0000"

Parameters:	dt (datetime) – The datetime to transform
Returns:	A RFC 822 formatted date string
