[FIXED] Flask Api In Azure App Service returns 404 Not Found

Issue

Hi everyone i hope you all are doing Great,

my situation :

i deployed a flask api in azure app service

Using Deployment Center with my git repo

when testing the code in local everyting seems to work as expected but in azure app service every url with "url/something" returns :

Not Found The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

my code :

    def convert(file):
    with open(file, encoding='utf_8') as xml_file:
        data_dict = xmltodict.parse(xml_file.read())
        xml_file.close()

        # generate the object using json.dumps()
        # corresponding to json data

        json_data = json.dumps(data_dict)

        # Write the json data to output
        # json file
        with open("CvTest.json", "w", ) as json_file:
            json_file.write(json_data)
            json_file.close()

        with open('CvTest.json') as f:
            d = json.load(f)
        df = pd.json_normalize(d)
        df = df.to_dict('records')
        df = pd.json_normalize(df)
        data = df.to_json("file.json", orient="records")

    with open('file.json', 'r') as data_file:
        data = json.load(data_file)

    for element in data:
        element.pop('cv.@xmlns', None)

    for element in data:
        element.pop('cv.binaryDocuments.document', None)
    with open('templates/data.json', 'w') as data_file:
        data = json.dump(data, data_file)

    with open('templates/data.json', 'r') as data_file:
        data = json.load(data_file)

    output = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=["cv.personalInformation.firstname",
                                         "cv.personalInformation.lastname",

    return jsonify(data)

if not os.path.exists(UPLOAD_DIRECTORY):
    os.makedirs(UPLOAD_DIRECTORY)


api = Flask(__name__)


@api.route("/files")

    return "", 201


if __name__ == "__main__":
    api.run(debug=True)

requirments :

Flask==2.0.2 xmltodict==0.12.0 pandas==1.3.4

it's my first time working with app service in azure

i hope someone can guide me to the right direction

thank you

Solution

I don't know why but deploying the webapp from azure cli instead of Deployment Center worked for me.
