How can i use a URL to call a python script

Question

In my java code, I want to be able to call a URL and that URL should run my python script. Does anyone have a recommendation?

I have tried using Heroku to host the python script but I will also like an alternative

When I host my python code on my local server I can call the URL and the python script runs

But I want to be able to host the python script somewhere else so I can call the URL from my android app

Are you asking advices on python hosting services?

You need some kind of server to receive the request I have an example of flask here. A server-side code to receive and use the POST request using flask would look like this:

from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
def result():
    print(request.form['foo']) # should display 'bar'
    return 'Received !' # response to your request.

This is the simplest & quickest way to send/receive a POST request using python.

You can also use java to send the POST request.
