'''''''''''''''''''''''''''

First install flask via pip or apt-get, then import the necessary packages into your project:

.. code-block:: python

        from flask import Flask, request, json
        
Now an app taht is going to be served via flask needs to serve a certain function to an url, so you first start by creating a Flask class instance:

.. code-block:: python

        app = Flask(__name__)
        
To create a new function, use:

.. code-block:: python

        @app.route("/example", methods = ['GET','POST'])

Then you can define your function below the @ line, just like any function, it's return is going to be the answer to the POST call.
