Using flask to create a rest api with python.

import json
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify


app = Flask(__name__)
data = json.load(open('stock.json'))

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return 'Stock API'

@app.route('/api/v1/info', methods=['GET'])
def api_home():
    return jsonify(data)


@app.route('/api/v1/stocks', methods=['GET'])
def api_stocks():
    if 'symbol' in request.args:
        symbol = request.args['symbol']
    else:
        return "Error: No name field provided. Please specify a name."

    data_list = data['quotedata']

    for i in data_list:
        # sym = i["symbol"]

        if i['symbol'] == symbol:
            details = {
                "name": i["longname"],
                "datatype": i["datatype"],
                "exchange": i["exchange"],
                "price_data": i["pricedata"]
            }

    return jsonify(details)

    app.run(debug=True)
