How to connect a flask API with google vision API?

Question

Well I'm creating a android application which uses web services as well. For that I'm planing to create a web API using flask framework to communicate with my android application. I want my API to communicate with Google Vision API to analyze text from images which will be send from the android app. How can I make both two APIs to communicate with each other?

Seeing as you haven't specified what your application does, or how it will work, I can only go on the assumption that you want to use your flask API as a middleman with the vision API.

You can use the Python Vision API Client within your flask api. The resulting data flow should look something like this:

Client
       >> Flask API
                    >> Vision API
                    << Vision API response
          Analyse response
       << Return response
