Flask Quickstart for Pycob

Step 1. Clone the Repo

This downloads the quickstart repository to your local machine

git clone https://github.com/pycob/flask-quickstart.git

Step 2. Install Requirements

This installs the necessary requirements to run the Flask app

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3. Set your API Key

The API key is used for interacting with Pycob.

If you don't have an API key, get one here: https://www.pycob.com/deploy

export PYCOB_API_KEY=pycob-key-...

Step 4. Run Locally

This is just to test whether the app works locally

python main.py

Step 5. Deploy to Pycob

This will:

• Send the files to Pycob
• Opens a browser to complete the deployment setup
• Serves the app on your_app_name.pycob.app

python -m pycob.deploy
