curl getting redirect instead of response

I’ve tested my REST API via Postman and tests and got a response, but when I use curl I’m getting

the code:

app.py

app = Flask(__name__)

app.register_blueprint(attack_bp, url_prefix=URL_PATH + '/attack')
app.register_blueprint(stats_bp, url_prefix=URL_PATH + '/stats')

route.py

from flask import Blueprint
from controllers.Stats import index
stats_bp = Blueprint('stats_bp', __name__)
stats_bp.route('/', methods=['GET'])(index)

controller.py

from services import Services

s = Services()


def index():
    return {"data": s.getStats()}

Answer

By default curl doesn’t follow redirection, you have to use -L argument.

In curl’s tradition of only doing the basics unless you tell it differently, it does not follow HTTP redirects by default. Use the -L, –location to tell it to do that.
