How to use Delete method in python flask

Question

How to use Delete method in python flask.My code segment has some issues and it shows Method Not Allowed while loading the url http://localhost:8082/api/users/remove_group/5.

@app.route('/api/users/remove_group/<int:groupId>',methods=['DELETE'])
def removeGroup(groupId):
try:
    print 'its working--Delete group'
    if userGroup.query.filter_by(group_id=groupId).first() is not None:
        userGroup.query.filter_by(group_id=groupId).delete()
        message='Group removed succesfully\n'
    else:
        print 'Group not found'
        message='Group not found\n'
except HTTPException as error:
    return error(os.version)
return message

Is your html pointing at the right method? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24088054/method-not-allowed-error-in-flask or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12179593/flask-post-error-405-method-not-allowed. BTW why the Java tag? — doctorlove, Feb 06 '17 at 12:04
Thanks for your effort @doctorlove, But the link says about get and post methods only.What about Delete method...? — Renjith R, Feb 06 '17 at 12:18
Already tried with ['GET', 'DELETE'],Thats worked successfully.but when iam using only the Delete Method then it shows Method not allowed — Renjith R, Feb 06 '17 at 12:23

HTML suports only GET/POST requests in forms, isn't it? Thus, you might try to get access to your removeGroup method with POST request that is not allowed in @app.route.

Please, see also: Should PUT and DELETE be used in forms?

Your answer is inrelevant to the question. How can your server handle DELETE requests. It is flask, serverside code. The request doesn't have to be comming from a form. – gkont May 17 '20 at 13:09
