creating a python server that can take in requests from postman

Question

I am trying to create a web app. One of the components is a ML algo that is built on Python. For development, I would like the Python file to be on a server so that I can use postman to send requests to it. I have looked at several articles and I am not quite sure how to do it.

Can anyone help?

Reproducible python code

 def analyzeCars(data):
   print(data)

I would like to be able to pass data into this script using Postman on a server.

Thanks

You can follow Django Rest framework Quickstart to get along with your first API creation.

If you would like to use flask then you can follow below tutorials

• Flask Quick start
• Flask quick start Tutorial point

Check below basic HTTP method from flask documentation

from flask import request

@app.route('/analyzeCars', methods=['POST'])
def CarAnalysis():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        analyzeCars(request.data)
        return {"status":"success"}
