In this tutorial we will see how we will post the data through api using POST method to database and how to retrieve the data of specific id from GET method and return the data is json format with field name.

from flask import Flask, redirect, url_for, request

for result in rv:
json_data.append(dict(zip(row_headers,result)))
return json.dumps(json_data)
