[SOLVED]
For those getting the error
language = {'name' : request.json['name']}
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

in the postman menu, next to the radio buttons for raw and binary there will be a drop down menu like thing. Choose json there.

This is great tutorial however I want to know why would you use a non unique key (name) to your dictionary? It's a little confusing.

Is it possible to take input from the webpage, process it in the python code and generate output and display it back on the webpage using flask?

Anthony, good video. I'd like to see a video that illustrates an api endpoint that actually receives a file from the client. The client will post a form with a file and this api endpoint will take it and save it to the server for example. Can you show that? Thanks.

request.json not working. The code isn't working for request.get_json either. Does the code require revision?
