2 GET routes to same Resource in Flask-RESTful

Question

I am learning Flask-RESTful and I have the following task i want to do:

There are these 2 GET Routes

GET /student/id (get student details, search student by ID)
GET /student/id/grades (get student grades, search student by ID)

If i don't want to have if statement in student GET function, how can I have this implemented? I must create 2 different resources? Student and GradesList?

Thanks, Alon

Answer 1

Yes, you should create 2 different resources as follows:

from flask_restful import Api

api = Api(app)

class StudentResource(Resource):

    def get(self, id):
        // Your code here. This is an example
        student = Student.get(id)

class GradeListResource(Resource):

    def get(self, id):
        // Your code here. This is an example
        student = Student.get(id)
        grades = studen.grades()

api.add_resource(StudentResource, '/student/<int:id>', endpoint='student_resource')
api.add_resource(GradeListResource, '/student/<int:id>/grades', endpoint='grade_list_resource')
