In Python scientific computing, how do I expose a REST API?

To expose a REST API in Python, you can use frameworks such as Flask or FastAPI. These frameworks make it easy to create a web service that can handle HTTP requests and return JSON responses.

Here’s a simple example of how to create a REST API using Flask:


        from flask import Flask, jsonify, request

        app = Flask(__name__)

        @app.route('/api/greet/', methods=['GET'])
        def greet(name):
            return jsonify(message=f"Hello, {name}!")

        if __name__ == '__main__':
            app.run(debug=True)
