Flask
To process incoming messages to our server
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from ultrabot import ultraChatBot
import json
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
def home():
if request.method == 'POST':
bot = ultraChatBot(request.json)
return bot.Processingـincomingـmessages()
if(__name__) == '__main__':
app.run()
We will write the path app.route('/', methods = ['POST']) for it. This decorator means that our home function will be called every time our FLASK server .
