[FIXED] Python: how to solve "TypeError: 'str' object is not callable"

Issue

So I have this flask api script

@app.route('/request', methods=["POST"])
def reqpost():
     content = request.get_json()
     h = content['type']
     if h == 'one'():
          typeone()
          return ("running type one")
     elif h == 'two'():
          typetwo()
          return ("running type two")
     else:
          return ("error!")

and this is the json data that would be sent in a request

{
  "type": "typeone"
}

but when I send a request to the server I get this on the server output

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

for these lines

if h == 'one'():
  # stuff
# and
elif h == 'two'():
  # stuff

I have tried adding str() in those lines but I still get that dumb error

any help would be nice thanks :)

Solution

ty removing ():

@app.route('/request', methods=["POST"])
def reqpost():
     content = request.get_json()
     h = content['type']
     if h == 'one':
          typeone()
          return ("running type one")
     elif h == 'two':
          typetwo()
          return ("running type two")
     else:
          return ("error!")
