python - Get json from one view by calling it from another view

Question

I have a view that returns JSON data. I want to get that data from another view as well, so I tried calling the JSON view from it. However, a Response was returned rather than the JSON data. How can I call one view from another view and get the data?

@app.route('/promoters/<int:id>', methods=['GET'])
def get_promoter(id):
    ...

>>> get_promoter(3)
<Response 440 bytes [200 OK]>

Answer 1

The decorator of a view-function can convert your return-value in a Response object depending on it's type (more information about these rules check out here). The json data is stored in r.response where r is the Response object.

The better solution is to create a separate function, which returns the json data, which can be called from two different view-functions.
