# Flask REST API
[REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer) [API](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API)s are commonly used to expose Machine Learning (ML) models to other services. This folder contains an example REST API created using Flask to expose the YOLOv5s model from [PyTorch Hub](https://pytorch.org/hub/ultralytics_yolov5/).
## Requirements
[Flask](https://palletsprojects.com/p/flask/) is required. Install with:
```shell
$ pip install Flask
```
## Run
After Flask installation run:
```shell
$ python3 restapi.py --port 5000
```
Then use [curl](https://curl.se/) to perform a request:
```shell
$ curl -X POST -F image=@zidane.jpg 'http://localhost:5000/v1/object-detection/yolov5s'
```
The model inference results are returned as a JSON response:
```json

An example python script to perform inference using [requests](https://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/) is given in `example_request.py`
