I really need some simple example to demonstrate how to receive streaming data sent from remote side.
I spent several hours online to search example code, but all I found is to sent streaming data to remote side, not receive from remote side.
The stream data is in JSON format, looks like:
15:15
15:17
15:20
15:21
15:22
I would greatly appreciate someone who could provide me some simple, "hello-world like", examples which could receive such data. I am very new to flask.
Web applications are usually designed for sending data to clients not being clients themselves. (AKA, the client has to initiate the connection, not the application).
Although, your question is a bit vague about how the stream is opened, and who should initiate the calls, here's a small example, that might get you started.
Simple listener that streams the incoming data. Here's an example using python-requests:
from contextlib import closing
import requests
with closing(requests.get('http://httpbin.org/get', stream=True)) as r:
while r.iter_content:
# Do something with the stream..
pass
__repr__ property). You can read the response data from either r.text, r,json or r.raw. See here: docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/quickstart/…
