How to return images in flask response? [duplicate]
As an example, this URL:
http://example.com/get_image?type=1
should return a response with a image/gif
MIME type. I have two static .gif
images,
and if type is 1, it should return ok.gif
, else return error.gif
. How to do that in flask?
Solution 1:
You use something like
from flask import send_file
@app.route('/get_image')
def get_image():
if request.args.get('type') == '1':
filename = 'ok.gif'
else:
filename = 'error.gif'
return send_file(filename, mimetype='image/gif')
to send back ok.gif
or error.gif
, depending on the type query parameter. See the documentation for the send_file
function and the request
object for more information.
