Webhooks with Python

[kamaleon]

Hello,

Do we need to use Flask in order to use webhooks with Python?

Or can we avoid using Flask?

Thanks

No, you don't need to use Flask. For a start, Flask is not the only web framework for Python (others include Django and Bottle). Secondly, a web framework lets you write applications that respond to HTTP requests. Webhooks are basically URLs you make an HTTP request to to perform some service, so you don't need an HTTP server, but an HTTP client like Requests.

I think flask is the way to go.
Used in combination with Jinja2, and bootstrap you can create some very powerful websites.
There is a tutorial you can get through in a couple of hours that will convince you.

If serious, there is also a completely revised version available for a small fee.

So to sync Mailchimp with another system via API I need to use Flask?

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me the location of revised version?
I have found the new website with the course, which charges $47
