No matter what I try, repl doesnt wake up. My code seems perfeectly fine, its a python app.
Here is my entire python code:
from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(name)
@app.route(‘/api/text’, methods=[‘POST’])
def receive_text():
if request.is_json:
text = request.get_json()
else:
text = request.data.decode(‘utf-8’)
print(text)
return ‘Text received’
if name == ‘main’:
app.run(debug=True)
Thats all the code there is…at all.
Can you please format your code like this:
```py
Paste the code here
```
Other than that, can you answer some questions to help:
.replit config fileHi @KailoOwhadi thanks for your post and welcome to the community!
Can you please post a link to your repl?
Running it works. It starts in the console. But there is no repl config file that I am aware of, unless you mean pyproject.toml?
I can find it with the repl link, but for future reference it is a hidden file that can be shown by clicking the three dots and then “show hidden files”. Everything seems as though it should work, the last thing I could think of is try adding an response to the index page.
Thanks,
I think the issue is that you created your code in a Python template, rather than a Flask one. I made a new Flask template, copied in your code, changed one line (see below) and it started a webview immediately.

I changed this:
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
to this:
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=81,debug=True)
Oh yep thats why. I did use python isntead of flask. When trying that rn, Im getting ‘requested url not found on the server’. Do I need to change ‘0.0.0.0’ to something?
Glad it’s working for you. The reason you see that error is due to your @app.route as it’s missing the index page
Thanks! That did it then.
Yes you should have the host on 0.0.0.0. This makes sure that Replit knows a server is running and that you’re trying to make a website.
